We're running a short survey to help us understand the challenges and opportunities of ensuring your students have equitable access to creative activities, artists and venues.
From Streatham to the Southbank, Lambeth is the home of world class creativity and innovation, and we want to support your school to access the incredible opportunities in our borough.
Your input will feed into the Council’s new Creative Strategy that will include commitments around school engagement.
To say thank you, everyone who completes the survey will be entered into a prize draw to receive up to 30 x tickets for Matilda for your school.
This survey is aimed at Headteachers in Lambeth, but please also share with teachers who lead on accessing creative opportunities for your school. Deadline 27 September.
