The Create Sheffield website is progressing.... our wonderful Partners have provided information about themselves so that they each have a page on the site, and that is being uploaded this week. We hope the website will be live in February.
The first 30 Sheffield Adventures have been dreamt up - 15 focused on our Outdoor City and 15 on our Creative City. We have a group of students from Sheffield Hallam who are doing some trialling of the Adventures, but there is plenty of scope for more trials.
Calling all lecturers, teachers, parents, youth workers, and facilitators! If you have access to young people and fancy testing some fun adventures for us, please let us know.

3. Schools Artsmark update
|
|
|
|
|
As you may recall, our Champion Schools told us that a good way to help and support the boosting of arts and culture in the curriculum is to offer a supported Artsmark package to schools across the city, so that schools who are interested in the arts can go on the journey together, support each other and share their experiences.
We are working with IVE (who deliver Artsmark in our region) to provide this. Create Sheffield have offered to subsidise the cost of Artsmark by 50% for schools, and IVE have offered a fabulous 2-year free support package of bespoke CPD and training. We are delighted to report that we have 27 schools signed up to go on an Artsmark journey together over the next two years. Some will start in March, others in September.
There are only 3 more places - let us know if your school would like to join our gang!
We are also making sure that our arts and cultural Partners are able to support schools on their Artsmark journey too, by encouraging them to sign up as Artsmark Partners (more info in section 4, below).
List of 27 signed up Sheffield Artsmark schools:
-
Infant Schools: Dobcroft, Halfway, Hunter’s Bar, Royd, Stocksbridge
-
Primary Schools: Arbourthorne, Beck, Bradfield Dungworth, Bradway, Grenoside, Lowfield, Manor Lodge, Mansel, Mundella, Nether Green, Sharrow, St John Fisher, St Thomas More, Stradbroke, Tinsley Meadows, Totley All Saints, & Watercliffe Meadow
