Curragh Community School will join Arts Council Creative Schools programme

Curragh Community School has been added to the the Arts Council’s Creative Schools programme.

The Creative Schools programme enables schools to discover additional ways of working and uncover the impact of creativity on children and young people’s learning, development and well-being.

Kildare Senator Fiona O'Loughlin has welcomed the inclusion, she said: “It is excellent news that the Curragh Community School will join the Arts Council’s Creative Schools programme. This will help provide children in the school with the opportunity to participate fully in a range of art forms within our education system.

“The school will receive a €4,000 grant and will work with a professional Creative Associate for two years who will support them to develop and implement their own bespoke Creative School Plan. Fianna Fáil strongly believes that all children should be helped to fully enjoy their right to arts and culture.”
