Join the Project
Our Excite, Inspire and Transform programmes can be tailored to the bespoke needs of your school, teachers and students. Ranging from a one-off twilight session in your school to a three-term intensive engagement with our creative practitioners, our lessons can -
​
- Increase pupil engagement across ability levels, embracing backgrounds and personal experiences.
- Incentivise pupils to write with greater clarity, confidence, coherence and depth.
- Lead to clear and demonstrable improvements in literacy, specifically use of written and spoken English.
- Build the confidence of your teachers in delivering creative activities in the classroom.
- Encourage pupils to develop their social skills, collaborative ability and empathy.
​
RfL creates positive learning opportunities in your school for teachers and students alike.
Our activities are costed according to the level of engagement agreed with the school.
