Arts Make A Difference: Inspire, Engage, Achieve
The Arts touch all aspects of our lives. They can contribute to raising children’s academic attainment
and achievement, support the development of skills, raise confidence and self esteem, impact on
health and well being and be truly life enhancing.
Leeds is an ‘arts rich city’ and by working together we need to ensure that every child has the
opportunity to experience and benefit from the wonderful range of arts and cultural learning
opportuntites available to them.
“without educational intervention we are in danger of
allowing a two-tier system in which the most advantaged in
social and economic terms are also the most advantaged in
benefitting economically, socially and personally from the
full range of creative and cultural experiences.”
The Warwick Commission, 2015
The Arts Development Team
We are a small, dedicated team with many years’ experience of working with teachers, artists,
children and young people. We are committed to delivering and brokering high quality cultural
learning opportunities across art, drama, dance, media, written and spoken word in order to: .

raise achievement in and through the arts
 foster a sense of enjoyment and fulfilment in learning through the arts
 increase the numbers of children and young people actively participating in arts and
cultural activity
 ensure the arts and cultural offer is high quality, dynamic and relevant

Full details of the SLA on page 3
“For many of those pupils who qualify for the pupil premium, school is likely to be the only place where
they can be put in touch with arts and culture. Using a small part of the pupil premium to expand the
cultural horizons of less advantaged pupils will prove to be money very well spent indeed.”
Princes Foundation for Children & the Arts

a 20% discount on Creative Projects
Primary Arts Network: meeting twice over the academic year the network will support
