Oh do have a look at this and feed into the consultation if you haven't already. Thanks for highlighing this Meril.

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport and the Department for Education have launched an independent review, to be led by Darren Henley MD of Classic FM, to consider how all children can experience a high quality cultural education.

The Arts in Education

I have just spent 11 minutes watching not only a very creatively shared talk but a very interesting one exploring how the education system is working, or not for our children today! I was watching this with my school Governor hat on but it actually raises some very interesting points about the part that culture, the arts and creativity has to play in given a far more effective experience to children. Do stick with it until the end because it gets more arts focused then. So why not go a grab a cup of tea and spend ten minute watching, (Do check the volume is up on the You Tube video as I watched it in silence for five minutes and it was somewhat harder to follow).
