Welcome to Arts Extend
Supporting Arts, Enriching Lives through creative school projects, community projects and arts development throughout Worcestershire.
Extended services have a strong track record in providing high quality arts and cultural activities, community projects and creative school projects for young people and the wider community. The excellent arts and development activities within schools around Worcestershire are recognized nationally. Arts Extend will build on this success and by working in partnership with the Extended Services and Arts Education teams, and alongside regional and national stakeholders and partners, we aim to ensure we respond to the needs of young people and their local communities. We aim to use strong partnerships and disciplined innovation to help support and maintain the excellent arts practice within Worcestershire.
The idea for this project emerged from the evaluation of Arts Council England’s national pilot project. We were inspired by the outstanding success of the West Midlands project in Telford and wanted to test the model further within rural locations and in addition to schools, try to work with family centre’s, PRU’s, youth services, early years and with looked after young people offering them a wide range of community projects, creative school projects and arts development.
"The Arts Extend project is a fabulous opportunity to really demonstrate how Arts focused Extended Services can have a positive impact on children and young people"
Hannah Needham, Extended Schools Services Manager, Worcestershire County Council
