Primary Arts is open to all state primary schools and some special schools in London. It is designed to include children in all primary year groups from Reception to Year 6 in mainstream schools, and pupils of any age in special schools as long as they are learning using primary curriculum content.
Your school must be in a London borough to be eligible for the programme.
Schools and individuals can take part in more than one strand of the programme (but only one touring booking can be made per school per year).
- Go & See is available to all eligible schools, but ticket numbers are limited.
- Masterclasses are open to qualified teachers currently working at any level in eligible schools.
- Come & Try is open to any member of staff currently working in eligible schools, including teachers, Teaching Assistants, support staff, admin and estates staff.
An access budget is available to support engagement, for example for transport, BSL interpretation or other costs.
For In-Schools Touring and Go & See, if we receive more booking requests than we can accept, schools will be selected based on a range of criteria including level of need, geography, previous engagement in Primary Arts and the capacity of the programme itself. For Masterclasses and Come & Try, places are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, and we will open waiting lists for fully-booked sessions.
