Arguing for a creative curriculum

Curriculum
Headteacher Anne Bull has been awarded an honorary degree by Bath Spa University in recognition of her contribution to education. She argues why a creative focus across the curriculum is vital

WASPS (Weston All Saints CE Primary School in Bath) is one of the top performing state schools in the country and prides itself on the way it puts high literacy and numeracy standards alongside creativity at the heart of the curriculum.

The latest Ofsted report said that the children at the school had a habit of bursting into song as they went to their lessons – our children are rightly proud of their work and achievements.

The school ensures that a link to the arts is integrated in every subject and it is important that every member of staff understands that creativity should not be taught within only certain subjects, but should be embedded in all subjects.
