Building special relationships

Glebe School, Creative and Media Diploma Y11 Students recently visited TRS to use the specialist screen-printing facilities in the MediaArts department. Glebe students worked with Y13 BTEC Art and Design students to print eco-bags and T-shirts to be sold at the Bromley Farmers Market, to raise funds for Sport Relief.

This project was part of a borough collaboration between Glebe School and TRS who have become specialist school partners. Miss Underhill-Head of Art has been working with the Glebe school throughout the academic year facilitating a range of Art and Design workshops in order to develop skills for the Creative & Media Diploma Level 1 Project.

The collaboration has been a real success, both students and staff from both schools have benefited from the experience:

‘The workshops provided an invaluable opportunity for our learners to meet and work alongside unfamiliar adults, and this has allowed them to practice their PLTS in a meaningful way. The experience of working with a Lead Teacher has certainly allowed us to plan for and deliver creative projects with confidence. We look forward to developing our joint working not only in the Diploma but across a number of new initiatives this year.' Chris Collins-Assistant Head, Glebe School
