    🎨At Ark, we’re proud to invest in our art, music, and drama teachers through specialist training. Immersion in creative spaces sparks fresh ideas, while giving teachers the chance to collaborate, share best practice, and enrich teaching and learning. ➡️shorturl.at/7PVxi

    We’re delighted to be collaborating with @Earlychildhood. We are already integrating these animated films into #ArkStart staff training to deepen understanding of social and emotional development and to support thoughtful, informed conversations around early childhood.

    We're honouring the memory of a dear colleague at a tribute event today. Dave Allen was a lynchpin for Ark & his absence is sorely felt. In recognition of his love of blues music, we're launching the Allen Music Scholarships in his name. Find out more justgiving.com/fundraising/da…
