Bringing together artists and schools
Artists in Schools Handbook
Working with professional artists can help schools to broaden their coverage of the curriculum, develop the skills of both pupils and staff and make positive links with the wider community. This handbook has been created to assist in this process and contains information to support the planning, delivery and evaluation of projects, case studies and national developments.
