Travelling Light’s School Offers
Travelling Light has an extensive Creative Learning programme, providing engaging activities where pupils can grow in confidence and creativity; as well as supporting their curriculum work. We are committed to building long term relationships with schools and providing high quality projects at affordable prices.
Children and schools are at the heart of our programme and we will do all we can to support them and ensure that creativity is still very much in the classroom.
"All pupils should have access to a quality arts education. Music, dance and drama build confidence and help children to live happier, more enriched lives, and discover the joy of expressing themselves."

Workshops and in-school activity
We know that every school and class has different needs; we have a flexible range of offers to ensure there is something that can work for all:
A) Face-to-face in classroom
B) Live digital engagement
C) Pre-recorded digital engagement
D) A combination of any of the above
Travelling Light can send one of our experienced facilitators into school to work safely with pupils and/or create digital workshops and resources to use in class.
Our Arts Days and Play in a Day activities are a great way of creatively exploring topics in groups and supporting your recovery curriculum. You could also take a look at our School Menu for other ideas.
You might be re-thinking how to deliver traditional creative offers, such as a school play or concert. Our team of experts can help facilitate drama, dance, music, art, design, film and more to enable pupils to still perform and share these experiences with family and friends.
