Increase the understanding of and commitment to creative approaches to teaching and learning among staff

Teachers and artists are more aware of the bigger picture of both NOF and the philosophy of CAPE. They are more aware of what other schools are doing and this has led to ideas exchange and collaboration.

The response of young people has convinced school staff to build in successful approaches into their school-led activities. For instance the use of creative professionals in non-arts based subjects and integrating new skills such as the use of mac computers for photo imaging.

“The project has allowed the Art and Science Departments to work closer together, we converse more, and the Maths Department are particularly interested in working with the animation club.” – Teacher Newall Green High School
