The Art Factory offers a broad range of Inset training for staff

The idea of our Inset training is to broaden the teaching staff’s knowledge and experience in using Art supplies, enabling them to deliver Art successfully to the children.

We have a range of activities that would be fitted into a one day workshop, allowing the staff to experience as many possible alternatives in any given subject and ideas that will help towards fulfilling the National Curriculum requirements.
These workshops can be adapted for staff working with both Key stage 1 and key stage 2 children.

Some of the activities on offer are as follows:
