As an ex Headteacher in 3 Pimary Schools it depresses me to note how the arts seem to receive a very low priority in many Primary schools today.I appreciate that there may be financial and timetabling constraints but there must be a sustained and consolidated resolve to protect art, dance, drama and music in our schools to include all the key stages. The concept of children having the right of access to a broad and balanced curriculum seems to
have disappeared under the pressures of literacy and numeracy...both of which are ALSO essential.

I would urge you to watch a really inspirational video on YOU TUBE......'Sir ken Robinson....,are schools killing creativity ? ' You may find some evidence of sanity and hope for our children.
