Schools and Community

Inspire Youth Arts is committed to enriching the educational and community arts landscape through various music, dance and digital projects in schools and the wider community, including health settings and youth centres. 

We are passionate about enabling access to high-quality arts provision and believe in the power of partnerships. Working across the county, we collaborate with organisations, schools and groups in the community to deliver enriching arts experiences that promote inclusivity and encourage artistic expression.

"Being involved with the Catapult Dance Festival was one of the best extra-curricular opportunities we have been involved with as a school. Witnessing the growth in confidence; skill and sheer enjoyment in our young children is something that both the staff and parents will cherish forever. Watching the children on stage was an incredibly emotional moment and one that is still talked about now. Thank you Inspire Youth Arts for providing such magical memories".

At Inspire Youth Arts, we work with a team of experienced, professional artists to bring innovative and exciting music projects into schools. These projects are designed to complement and enhance existing provision, offering pupils new, engaging opportunities to explore music. 

We are always open to collaboration and consultation, tailoring our programmes to suit the needs and interests of each school. Whether it’s weekly Singer-Songwriter sessions, a series of Rock School workshops, or bespoke packages, we create relevant, high-impact experiences for young people. 

We understand the importance of highlighting pathways into creative careers. We welcome work experience placements for young people across the county and love taking part in careers talks and events.

Our inclusive digital music sessions are designed with accessibility in mind, ensuring every student has the chance to participate and thrive. We are also happy to advise on pay structures and artist recruitment to support curriculum delivery or enrichment offers within your arts provision. 

Creativity is at the heart of everything we do, and our work in schools is no exception. Our talented team equips students with the tools to explore their potential and experiment with a wide range of musical styles. Through our programmes, we nurture, inspire, and empower the next generation of musical talent. 

We offer taster sessions in school settings. This is a great way to see what we do in action. If you're interested, we’d love to hear from you.
