Pride of Stratford Educators of the Year 2018

Escape Arts has over 20 years experience of delivering successful, innovative creative workshops and educational creative heritage workshops in schools.  We pride ourselves on professional, bespoke projects which aim to inspire creative thinking and support curriculum studies.

Escape delivers practical based workshops in line with the current National Curriculum.  As we have a team of experienced artist practitioners with their own specialisms, we are well placed to help your KS1 pupils ‘use materials creatively to design and make products’ as well as help your KS2 pupils to have ‘an increasing awareness of different kinds of art, craft and design’.  We can tailor projects to meet your objectives ensuring effective delivery in terms of communication, resources and organisation.   Please see our Schools Information Brochure.

We also offer multi-media after schools clubs, find out more here.

Each session will be tailored to be age appropriate and relevant to the National Curriculum.

We can offer activities exploring the following themes: Food in World War II,  The Changing High Street, Meat: Then and Now, Historic Site Occupations – the Ropemaker, the Wine Merchant, the Tudor Brewer, the Chemist and the Butcher.

Activities on offer – Guided tours through the building, object handling, drama & creative writing workshops, art workshops in response to historical themes.

Resources on offer – Oral History interviews,  photographs, copies of historical documents, loan boxes.

 National Arts Award Accreditation

Escape is a registered Arts Award Centre. Arts Award inspires young people to grow their arts and leadership talents: it’s creative, valuable and accessible.  Escape can offer Arts Award at five levels, four accredited qualifications Explorer, Bronze, Silver and Gold and an introductory Discover award.

We can help schools develop an arts award programme through after school provision or within the school timetable.

We can also work with schools already delivering Arts Award to provide work experience placements, volunteering, arts mentoring and arts networking.
