What a wonderful way to end the week? We joined tenants from North Tyneside Council Eccles Grange, and students from GSHS for the showcase of their A Splash of Colour Intergenerational artwork. This is such a lovely project, bringing together different generations through art

Lovely visit to GSHS. Thank you for the tour and opportunity to chat to pupils. I joined the A level politics students for a Q and A. Luckily they didn’t ask me my opinion on their topic for the day…

Thanks to all art educators who attended last nights meeting for NEATEN. Great to see presentations and skills shared. We do still have a future. 18 yrs old in October. Grassroots. Teachers teaching teachers. Unfunded. Independent! It’s what matters.

We're VERY excited to share that "A Splash of Colour Intergenerational" has been nominated for an Age-Friendly Award! 🎉 Thanks to all schools who have taken part so far 👏 Huge thanks to North Tyneside Council Tyneside Living for working with us on this wonderful project.

Super proud of our Year 10 Photography students who took part in a light painting project!
