I am currently evaluating the strategic touring programme Take Flight for Little Angel Theatre, where ten theatre venues across the country are aiming to develop long lasting relationships with primary schools in their area. I’ve so far met theatre venue staff and local primary teachers in Wolverhampton, Barking, Tower Hamlets and St Helens. The other six venues are Luton, Doncaster, Harrow, Rochdale, Oldham and Gainsborough. This evaluation will also include a SurveyMonkey questionnaire for teachers in autumn term, with a prize draw incentive, along with a teachers’ focus group in London. By the end of the year, I will be writing a report focusing on barriers to arts engagement and making recommendations on how each venue can work best with their local schools.
