Go & See

Offering a range of opportunities for pupils and their teachers to experience theatre and visual arts in London.

This programme gives pupils and staff in one year group per school the
opportunity to experience the arts within venues rather than at school. It
also aims to support teachers to connect these experiences to classroom learning, through online CPD sessions. The programme has two seasons:
Winter 2024 and Summer 2025.

For the Winter season of Go & See, schools can apply for tickets from
a choice of five different theatre productions, and one immersive art
installation. For the Summer season of Go & See, schools can apply for
tickets from a range of film, theatre and visual art options. The Summer
season will open for bookings in Spring 2025.

Schools will:

  • Receive tickets for a theatre performance, gallery visit or cinema screening in London for all classes in one Year Group.
  • Be supported to connect these experiences to classroom learning and the National Curriculum through tailored CPD and resources.
  • Be supported with risk assessments.

Access & Inclusion

An access budget will be available to support participant engagement in this
programme, for example towards transport, additional staff or other costs.


Eligibility

The Primary Arts Go & See programme is open to state primary and primary SEND settings in London. The programme aims to support pupils’ personal enjoyment, wellbeing and enrichment through the arts, as well as supporting their learning through CPD for teachers.

Your school must be in a London borough to be eligible for the programme. If your school or a member of your school staff is participating in another area of the Primary Arts programme, you are still eligible to take part in this strand of the programme. If you participated in the pilot of the Go & See programme in 2023/24, you are unlikely to be allocated a place on the programme this year.
