Session leaders will plan activities such as art, making or recording films and drama which allows participants to create fictional characters who share their issues, allowing them to understand their own thought patterns and behaviours and 'practice' responses in a safe environment.

darts wishes to test whether creative techniques, which were developed through its work in primary PRUs, can be applied in mainstream settings to benefit pupils at risk of exclusion. Two multi-disciplinary artists will deliver weekly sessions in three primary schools using sculpture, circus arts, music and visual arts, working towards end-of-year sharing events. Pupil outcomes may include increased engagement, self-esteem and aspiration, coping strategies and decreased likelihood of exclusion. The team will create a practical toolbox of creative approaches to support teacher CPD.

This arts charity will continue its work on the Cathedral estate in Wheatley to help to bring the community together through creative activities.
