Sad to hear about the passing of Benjamin Zephaniah. A wonderful spirit. A masterful poet, musician, creative & an advocate for young people, creativity & the arts.

This tribute to creativity came out of a project that Colin was privileged to be a part of.youtu.be/fI9vDzGhZDY?si…

An all too rare opportunity to discuss all things culture, arts, learning and partnerships. We’ll be represented in the morning panel discussion.

Leeds came alive for 2 very special days. Big thanks to our performers, their teachers, our volunteers and the partner organisations. Dance is alive and kicking in schools - we just give it the platform it deserves.

James Drury always captures our events perfectly... & it's not always easy! Quick rehearsals, low lighting, fast paced activities.

Here's a shot from the first day of the Festival. He's smashed it again! Check out his profile jdrury photography & his website james-drury.com.

We could not be prouder of our children today! Their performance was spectacular and received a huge cheer. Well done St Joseph’s! ⭐️ Keep an eye on the newsletter to see a clip! Yorkshire Schools Dance Festival Blessed Christopher Wharton Catholic Academy Trust #performers #stars
