as well as changes to the Ofsted framework around ‘Cultural Capital’.
Our cultural partners are working with us in different ways too. For the Royal Opera House,
the principle of ‘Thurrock First’ has long been at the heart of its entire national schools offer.
Any new project or programme we want to take to the country we take to Thurrock schools
first. Your long-standing experience, your willingness and enthusiasm to work with us helps
shape and drive our national schools programme and puts you in the driving seat, helping Gabrielle Forster-Still
to create cutting edge programmes that make a difference not only to children and young
people in Thurrock but to tens of thousands in schools across the country. For next year we Head of Learning and Participation Thurrock
are introducing three new programmes, including one focussing on parental engagement
with their children’s learning. This is something many of you have highlighted as a priority
and which we hope you will find interesting. Some of our cultural partners are also offering
programmes that have not been seen elsewhere yet, confident in the knowledge that
Thurrock schools will work with them creatively and dynamically.
Building on all of Trailblazer’s strengths and going into this new three-year phase for the
programme, we will be introducing some changes. With funding confirmed but reducing
year on year, we have to consider how we retain what’s essential especially around quality
of provision, develop greater efficiencies and consider ways to ensure the programme’s
longevity.
