CEN October QA Event
Newcroft Primary Academy began its Artsmark journey in the summer of 2020, at the same time Issy Veazy started her new role as Art & Design subject leader. She embarked on an Artsmark journey to help give direction and structure to her plannings, as her headteacher had recommended Artsmark after seeing the impact it had in their previous school, supporting the design and development of a creative curriculum. Issy reflects on their Artsmark journey so far…
Can you briefly tell us a little bit about your school?
Based in Northwest Leicestershire, Newcroft Primary Academy has a growing population of approximately 400 children from Reception to Year 6 and is part of a multi-academy trust – Symphony Learning Trust. We started our Artsmark journey in the summer of 2020, just after the first lockdown. We began putting things in place in the Autumn term and, despite the challenges of the years that followed, have achieved a lot already.
