A comparison of the quality of the work (outcome) to last year.<br />
Kenningtons Primary Academy won the Kensington Palace Arts Choice<br />
Award.<br />
How did <strong>Trailblazer</strong> support their whole school priority?<br />
Pupils’ enjoyment and engagement with the arts has greatly increased. They are<br />
more knowledgeable, inspired and curious. Learning across the curriculum has<br />
been deeper and outcomes are higher quality.<br />
Taking it forward<br />
The research has shown that Kenningtons’ pupils do have an interest in the arts<br />
and are looking for opportunities to participate. As part of the project, staff<br />
performed and shared various art forms with the pupils, revealing unexpected<br />
talents. Some pupils have asked if they can also share their love for the arts<br />
with the rest of the school. Kenningtons Primary Academy is planning to<br />
celebrate arts more often in assemblies and at events for parents.<br />
