    Story

    I will be celebrating my 70th birthday in 2020 and it was 65 years ago that I began my education at Slade Primary School. I have had a lifelong love of music, art, theatre and want to support creative learning for those younger than me.

    Educational priorities can mean such learning might be overlooked but Slade School recognises the value of inspiring children through creative activities. My own children and granddaughters have enjoyed and benefited from the creative opportunities at their schools and I want to further support this essential part of the curriculum.

    Slade Primary School is rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted with ‘Outstanding’ leadership and management.

    So, I have decided to mark my 70th birthday with a gift to Slade Primary School of £1000 to be used to support creative learning. Specifically the school will use the donations to bring an artist into the school to support children in creating some artwork for a sensory garden they are currently trying to create.

    Slade headteacher Jenny Maskell said:

    The creative arts are very important at Slade and we encourage children to develop a keen interest in this area – along with exploring the great outdoors. We have chosen to create a sensory garden which will help fire pupils’ imaginations and be a wonderful addition to our school. We hope to fill the immersive space with creations, working with a local artist, which is what Stuart first envisioned for the school.

    Having the opportunity to work with an artist who is skilled in their field, will support children in developing their skills and hopefully ignite their passion for art.

    I am therefore asking those who might consider giving me a birthday gift and anyone else who wishes to support creative learning by primary school children, to donate to this cause. The aim is to reach £1200 and any donation you can make will be very much appreciated. Thank you.
