Schools and partners
Kite Studios have worked with a number of schools and organisations in the local community in and around London. We have over the last two years been delivering projects to 16 schools in Hammersmith and Fulham, commissioned by Extended Services department for family learning.
As well as the obvious benefits of art education, we have encouraged work experience and employment opportunities for young people, providing a springboard for their future prospects.
We have strong links with established organisations like the Victoria & Albert Museum, Hammersmith and Fulham LA and Groundwork. We have been commissioned to prepare projects such as fun days for the local community, family learning projects to encourage parents’ involvement in their children’s education and a permanent interactive installation (that children can draw on) at Discover Children’s centre in Stratford, London.
We have been working for over four years now with The Good Shepherd RC Primary School, our nearest school. Each year we devise a project, planning with the teachers in order to focus on an area of the curriculum that can be enhanced by the experience of the children working on projects in the studio. We recently put on an exhibition of the children’s work collaborating with the charity healthyplanet.org in the W12 shopping Centre in Shepherds Bush to share the incredible work the children made with the rest of the community. Please see our blog for more details and http://createatthegoodshepherd.blogspot.com/ to see the progress of this partnership.
