It has enabled our school to connect with inspiring artists, musicians and dramatists to support teachers in their approaches to planning and delivering high quality learning experiences. Incorporating the arts into our classes has seen an increase in our children\u2019s motivation, engagement and self-esteem. The impact of this project is being felt across the school with renewed enthusiasm for the wider curriculum.<\/p><\/blockquote><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div>\n<h3>Aims<\/h3>\n<p>The TIME Project aimed to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Empower teachers to embrace HMDT Music\u2019s methodology of embedding activities across the curriculum using a combination of CPD training through artists\u2019 workshops and delivery, leading to them being able to plan, develop and implement arts-based cross-curricular learning;<\/li>\n<li>Build a coherent skills resource bank which can be shared amongst schools and leave a legacy beyond the duration of the project;<\/li>\n<li>Further explore the perceived link between such projects and ways of working and a rise in academic achievement;<\/li>\n<li>Expand the role of teachers as owners of the creative and delivery process as well as that of the students and us (and other arts organisations), without increasing pressure in the current education environment;<\/li>\n<li>Establish successful working partnerships with local educational organisations to develop a replicable model for regional roll-out and determine that the same methods are transferable in a variety of schools, localities and settings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"testimonial-container no-image\"><div class=\"testimonial-info\"><div class=\"testimonials-details\"><h2>Teacher, from TIME Year 1 <\/h2><span><\/span><\/div><\/div><blockquote><p>The TIME project has made me consider where the arts can support the wider curriculum at the outset of each learning topic. It has given me greater confidence and improved my subject knowledge, allowing me to plan for greater progression and development in art subjects.<\/p><\/blockquote><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div>\n<h3>Activities<\/h3>\n<p>To build up staff skills, each year two teachers from each school received a combination of CPD, training and delivery sessions working with artists in a range of genres focused initially on music, art and drama using the following format:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In term 1, the teachers received workshops by specialist artists in each of art, music, and drama, building skills to embed activities across the curriculum supported by CPD sessions shared with all 6 schools to reflect and consolidate skills learnt;<\/li>\n<li>In term 2, they used the skills learnt to lead their own arts based cross-curricular sessions in each of art, music and drama, supported by the artists. These workshops were again consolidated in CPD sessions;<\/li>\n<li>In term 3, the teachers created their own cross-curricular mini projects using at least 3 art forms with support from the core artist team and\/or guest specialists in different genres and shared CPDs. Unlike the former sessions which were focussed on process, these led to a chosen outcome such as a performance or film.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"testimonial-container no-image\"><div class=\"testimonial-info\"><div class=\"testimonials-details\"><h2>Teacher, Lytham Hall Park Primary School<\/h2><span><\/span><\/div><\/div><blockquote><p>TIME project gave the children a real opportunity to &#8216;shine&#8217; through allowing them the creative opportunity\/space to develop through drama improvisation, lyric and song writing (and performance) and silk painting. I was delighted to see some of the quieter members of the class becoming very &#8216;hooked&#8217; into the project and &#8216;standing forward&#8217; to demonstrate their new learning.<\/p><\/blockquote><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div>\n<h3>Outcomes<\/h3>\n<p>Despite the complications of Covid-19 meaning some sessions couldn\u2019t happen, some workshops and all CPDs were delivered online and Year 2 mini-projects morphed into a <em>Create Your Own Puppet Show<\/em> series of films to at home, the project still fulfilled its aims thanks to its coherent, tested structure, the flexibility and commitment of all the participating schools and artists, the trust built up between them and the willingness and engagement of the children.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"testimonial-container no-image\"><div class=\"testimonial-info\"><div class=\"testimonials-details\"><h2>Head, Grange Primary School<\/h2><span><\/span><\/div><\/div><blockquote><p>Children were motivated by their improved outcomes and particularly enjoyed working with specialists and new equipment and musical instruments.<\/p><\/blockquote><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>External evaluator Colin Morley\u2019s report highlights how teachers developed new skills and were empowered to try new approaches and embed them within their own practice; how its legacy is reflected in the way teachers now think more broadly about how and where the arts can apply to other aspects of the curriculum; how it impacted on inspiring children\u2019s learning and confidence through learning new skills, being inspired to think outside the box, express themselves creatively and be more involved in the process and how it impacted across the whole schools as well as the individual teachers and children engaged in the actual project delivery.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"testimonial-container no-image\"><div class=\"testimonial-info\"><div class=\"testimonials-details\"><h2>Teacher, Grange Primary School<\/h2><span><\/span><\/div><\/div><blockquote><p>It has reignited my own creativity.

Each year across the project, the increase of including the arts in the classroom rose by 20% (although Covid did impair this growth). The impact on teacher is also seen through the use of the mentor system (both formal and informal), the quality of the CPDs and artists\u2019 delivering, with a particular emphasis on the relationships of trust and support built up between them \u2013 for the artists themselves, becoming \u2018a critical friend\u2019 was an important lesson in knowing how and when to step back and how to focus on the process and not feeling the need to deliver a finished product each session.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"testimonial-container no-image\"><div class=\"testimonial-info\"><div class=\"testimonials-details\"><h2>Deputy Head, St Wilfrid\u2019s Longridge Primary School<\/h2><span><\/span><\/div><\/div><blockquote><p>The facilitators were brilliant, they really engaged with the children.
