Art in schools
As part of our festivals and events programme we run complimentary arts based outreach activities. Should you, or your school or community group like to be involved in these please contact us at arts@brent.gov.uk
Quid Pro Quo
Schools often like professional creative practitioners to work with their pupils but do not have the financial resources. In turn professional creative practitioners have the skills and talents desired by schools but do not have the funds for rehearsal or studio space. This project, although still in its early stages, aims to establish an 'in kind' exchange programme between arts practitioners and schools.

Creative Partnerships
Creative Partnerships in London aims to raise the aspirations and achievements of children and young people in schools by developing participant led, high quality creative learning and change programmes.
Brent currently has five schools involved in the Creative Partnership programme, here is an idea of what they are up to:

Oakington Manor Primary School

Queens Park Community School
This school has a business enterprise specialism and in 2008 Key stage 4 students from the media studies course will be working with creative partners Quiet Voice, Bigga Fish and StoryMakers TV to develop their own film production company.
