After the huge success of the first Creative Media Course held with pupils from Lathom High School, Burscough Priory High School have now seized the opportunity.
16 girls from the school will shortly begin their 6 week creative course using a variety of art forms to tackle range of social and emotional issues.
Drama, Music, Dance, Photography and Film will all be used to help the students develop skills that will help them on their journey through school. The course will end with a presentation and showcase of their work for an invited audience of friends, family and teachers from the school.
The course has been funded again by the West Lancashire Early Support Service.
“ It is fantastic news for us that the money has been made available for schools to access this type of opportunity. We now know the huge impact the course can have on young people and hope this is something that will be made available to all schools across the county. The Arts are a very powerful medium for learning and this level of exposure to them not only helps to develop skills but inspires people to be more creative in the future.”
