About this event

Royal Opera House Learning and Participation is now delivering its innovative and highly successful cultural learning programme Thurrock Trailblazer for the sixth year. Trailblazer has inspired learning through the Arts in 90% of Thurrock schools and worked with 70+ local, regional and national arts, heritage and cultural organisations.

At this symposium aimed at school leaders we will be asking some of our Trailblazer schools to share their experiences, and we will facilitate discussions around the future of cultural learning both in Thurrock and in other areas including wider Essex, North Kent and Medway, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire.

We invite you, school leaders, governors and senior school leaders, to come to find out more and to help us look at the future of Trailblazer and cultural learning more widely. We will ask questions including:

  • How can 'Learning through the Arts' facilitate and support implementation of the new Ofsted framework?
  • How can schools best be supported to deliver 'a broad and balanced curriculum' through the Arts?
  • How could the Trailblazer model be adapted and developed to deliver across the wider region?
  • How can the learning from Thurrock Trailblazer schools and Multi Academy Trusts be utilised to support other schools in the region?

Please join us for this symposium, the event will be facilitated by Katherine Zeserson* who has a wealth of experience working across education and cultural sectors.

The event is free to attend but it is essential to book; breakfast will be provided. Please reserve your place now!

*Katherine Zeserson has an international reputation as a strategic thinker, leader, facilitator, trainer and educator in a wide range of education and arts contexts.
