Working With Schools
Art Interventions for Confidence
I run art interventions at schools in and around Worcestershire designed to build confidence in pupils and have worked alongside staff to help improve attendance, boost confidence and help pupils with social, emotional and mental health issues.
Interventions sessions are to your specifications. I design highly personalised programmes that uses art to encourage children find agency, develop social skills and increase self esteem. Past projects have culminated in art exhibitions with parents/carers, peers, staff and visiting artists in attendance, but can also be more low key and end with a quiet celebration and the presentation of a framed piece of work they've created during our time. Feedback from schools say that interventions have had a positive effect in all areas of school life and throughout the curriculum. Please contact me for testimonials.
For other education work, please see my tutoring business www.cleartuition.co.uk where I run art and confidence building workshops for children and tutoring in maths and English for KS2 pupils.
About Me
I'm qualified in Secondary Art & Design in 2002 and have been a teacher & art lead in primary, middle and secondary schools for over twenty years. I have worked as an artist since 2018.
Working in schools as art lead, I booked a lot of artists and makers to come in and provide art experiences for pupils. I have a good working understanding of what makes a really successful visit from the school's point of view.
I work with you prior to my visit to understand your requirements and can tailor my support to your curriculum, your pupils and your staff needs. I can provide you with plans and proposals detailing how your objectives will be met so you feel supported and confident prior to my visit. Following our work together, I can send you a document to show progress and and to celebrate outcomes and achievements.
Having worked as a teacher, I understand and appreciate the importance of making sure the children are getting the best educational experiences, and showing evidence to support that vision. I can do that for you, taking the pressure off the staff. I'm also more than happy to organise celebrations of pupils' work, can create art exhibitions in school and speak to parents and visitors.
