Arts Weeks
Networking with other artists through the artsangels network, the Zephaniah Team can co-ordinate and run week-long arts festivals in both primary and secondary schools.
What is it? A week of arts sessions and workshops, where students, staff and parents can try their hand at a whole range of creative activities.
How does it work? The Zephaniah Team and their network of artists move into your school for the week! Working with you, we'll develop a timetable that allows as many students to experience as many of the activities as possible, fitting in with your school’s individual needs. As part of the timetable, we can take the week’s assemblies, including the opportunity for students to display their new-found skills. Often, we end the week with a big assembly, inviting parents to come along and celebrate the week’s achievements. Not all the artists mentioned here will be available for every arts week. Each week is approached separately and an individual programme based on your school’s needs and availability of artists is created.

Over the past two years, we have run arts weeks in Stocks Lane Primary, Woodside Primary, Immanuel CE Community College and Idle CE Primary School, as well as contributing to weeks in Bradford Christian School and Myrtle Park Primary School. Many schools invite us back, with To see images and work from the following arts weeks, click on the links below: |

What does it cost? That depends on exactly what you want, though £1000 would be a guide figure for a full week's programme. We can help you explore funding possibilities and would never want funding problems to prevent an artsweek from happening - please get in touch with us to negotiate!
