Plan 45–60 minutes at least once every three weeks, weekly where feasible. Use an existing class, club, sports team, assembly, dorm, year-group or activity. The whole school does not have to stop for the festival. Specialist training, rehearsal and production time are agreed separately. Name a small team and agree the first three dates so the creative work has a predictable home.

Name a coordinator, arts lead and safeguarding contact. Agree the group, dates, brief and review route. Roles may combine where school policy permits, while responsibilities remain explicit.
Read more ↗

No. It is a guided space for listening, reflection, learning and creative work. It does not replace professional care. Each activity needs a known adult support route.

Read more ↗

No. A careers conversation is not a promise of admission, funding, a visa, employment or placement. Institutions must verify their claims and explain requirements clearly. Follow-up needs separate permission.
Read more ↗

Register interest in a defined experience, school support, mentoring, access, production, materials or another useful role. Cash, in-kind support and expertise are welcome. Scope, costs, recognition and reporting are agreed before commitment.
Read more ↗
