Hi everyone,

The following opportunity is available through the Arts Council of Wales’ Lead Creative Schools scheme, at Hendredenny Park Primary in Caerphilly.

We're looking for a dynamic and experienced Creative Practitioner, for a creative learning project to improve standards in oracy and writing in Year 5.

The ideal candidate will have experience in writing for performance. Your art form(s) might include: script writing (eg: for screen, stage or radio); acting-devising or theatre-making; song-writing; storytelling; spoken word poetry, stand-up comedy.

The project will take place during the 2018 spring term (January to March / April 2018). The precise timeframe and number of sessions will be negotiated with the successful candidate.

The total budget for the project is £5,000, to include Practitioner delivery and planning fees (at a rate of £250 per full day), plus reasonable travel and subsistence expenses. The budget also includes project-relevant materials. 

Deadline for expressions of interest: 5pm Tuesday 17th October.

The school is located approximately 30 minute drive from central Cardiff, and is a 20 minute walk from Aber train station.

The successful Creative Practitioner must be able to attend a two day training session with Arts Council Wales, taking place between 17th – 24th November (unless they have already attended practitioner training for a previous Lead Creative Schools project.)

For further details about this opportunity, please email me (williamsmh@hotmail.com) and School Coordinator Lorraine Llewellyn  (rainee77@sky.com) and attach a copy of your CV.
