WE NEED OUR FAIR SHARE!

The real problem we face here in York is that all the indicators suggest that everything is OK and outcomes and achievements are high. However, what is also true is that the gap between those doing well and those doing badly is larger here that anywhere else in England and in every one of our schools and in every classroom there are children and young people whose engagement with arts and culture is as limited as any of the places receiving funding through the Arts Council. It isn’t fair that these young people miss out on these brilliant projects and funding opportunities!
