Project update after school visits
Working with two Creative Practitioners, the school project includes one to one creative coaching sessions; the development of an evolving creative, reflective space for teachers called Space 2, and group reflection moments with staff and SLT groups
Space 2 is an invitation for teachers to spend time during their day making something for themselves and contributing to a larger collective project space. They can spend as much or as little time as they wish, create whatever they like, and already teachers are coming back for more. We look forward to watching this space change over the next half term
Pupils from each year group have spent time with Creative Practitioners to explore what activities might support their teachers’ wellbeing. This resulted in messages of encouragement and tips for relaxation gifted to the staff
