Curriculum Creativity

Over 50 teachers from across the North West, met up for a curriculum day at St Ambrose Barlow, Catholic High School in Swinton. As part of the day teachers worked in teams for 20 minutes, exploring the world of pattern , texture, colour and print  with printmaker Alan Birch.For many it was their first taste of print, and the results were spectacular! Hopefully they will feel inspired to bring print into their curriculum areas. Prior to the afternoon Alan worked with 45 year 9-11 pupils.
