Arts-Rich Schools
The RSA visited arts-rich schools across the country to learn more about the strategies they have used to maintain a strong arts offer.
The increase in school exclusions aren’t just an alarming statistic. It’s a social justice issue.
This new report, supported by the Betty Messenger Charitable Foundation and the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, shows how the damage of school exclusions falls disproportionately on society’s most vulnerable groups, including children with special educational needs and disabilities.
The rise in exclusions has been caused by a ‘perfect storm’ hitting the system, from funding pressure to changes in the curriculum and inspections.
The key to preventing damaging school exclusions is building stronger relationships between students and teachers or school staff.
