THE EDUCATION INSPECTION FRAMEWORK 2019!

The New OFSTED Framework states that school governors and headteachers have a responsibility to look after our young people’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. They need to develop their wellbeing and ensure they grow into the happy, heathy, successful creative thinkers and problem solvers of tomorrow.

The Framework also points out that including storytelling, art and design, dance, drama and music in the curriculum is both a statutory requirement and hugely important in improving outcomes and enriching the lives of our children and young people.These subjects also provide young people with the opportunity to develop the skills that matter in life, school and the world of work... responsibility, confidence, resilience, communication, teamwork, problem solving, critical thinking, digital skills and creativity. Culture and the arts helps to build the knowledge, skills, understanding and experiences that children and young people need to thrive and succeed in an increasingly complex and challenging world.
