Pleased to see the chair of our APPG for Art Craft Design Education as part of this united front of APPG chairs- asking for the end of EBacc and Progress 8! @sairskay.bsky.social @pollybillington.bsky.social @sharonhodgsonmp.bsky.social
My lovely tribe of Art @NEATENart teachers en masse today at wonderful @sunderlanduni for life drawing, screen printing, typography. The staff were brilliant- Nat, Mark, Jane, as were the student ambassadors! All hail art teachers. #halfterm #artteachers
How about this @kapowprimary ? Y1 and their spider sculpture after studying Louise Bourgeois…. They explained the whole process to me. And they loved it! Brighton Avenue Primary School in Gateshead. @NEATENart @accessart @GomersalArt @tate_modern
If I Were Bridget Phillipson ... www.teachertoolkit.co.uk/2025/02/23/i... I’d ditch the EBacc and Progress 8 overnight!
It was an inspiring launch of the Arts and Minds Advocacy Campaign on Tuesday at Tate Modern. Thank you @neunion.bsky.social and all your fantastic team. Lovely to feel the vibes of creativity.

Today! @tatemodern.bsky.social launch of @neunion.bsky.social Arts and Minds. Have you signed up as a supporter yet? neu.org.uk/assessment/c... @accessart.bsky.social @nsead.bsky.social @pollybillington.bsky.social @sharonhodgsonmp.bsky.social
Totally agree.The fact that some parents think it's ok to give their baby a 📱 if the content is 'educational' is shocking.Completely disregards how early 🧠development works, based on active interactions with the world all around them & communication!

It was a truly inspiring event for a really important cause. We lose more than just ‘subjects’ when all the creative subjects are sidelined, they provide lifelong skills in so many ways.
Just attended the Arts and Minds Campaign at Tate Modern. What an inspiring event, with so many valuable contributions demonstrating the power of art and CRAFT and the need to get these back into schools.A commitment from SoS Lisa Nandy @dcmsgovuk.bsky.social at the end. @theartcriminal.bsky.social

I spotted you across the room and headed there after Lisa spoke but too many people and we were both lost in a crowd. THANK YOU so much for being there. Great advocacy event! @artsandmindscampaign
