From
Nicholas Keyworth’s independent evaluation of PRS Foundation
funded project Pirates and Heroes –
“It
is very encouraging to see in such graphic detail how the arts
can be an ideal starting point to create links to so many other
subject areas. It was also encouraging to hear of the enormous
social benefits the headmistress was seeing from the project in
terms of uniting children from a generally poor background and
developing their confidence and communication skills.” |
