(Culture and Sport Evidence Programme (CASE), Department for Culture, Media and Sport, 2010) 4 | Artswork STEAM Toolkit Introduction STEAM – what’s it all about? Science STEAM is used to define a method of teaching that sees five subject areas S – Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths – join together for a more holistic approach to learning. The term has become increasingly prevalent in recent years, due to concerns over the lack of creativity in Technology the school curriculum.

STEAM STEAM: in Action Cleaning Up with Eastbourne In 2017, Artswork (with support from Arts Council England) enabled the creation of seven STEAM Networks across the South East. Establishing new working Schools Partnership relationships between education, cultural and STEM partners, the Networks piloted models for Continuing Professional Development for teachers, as well as pupil resources. Alongside this, they provided support for schools working towards Artsmark and Arts Award, embedding the Arts Council’s Quality Principles The Project throughout. The following case studies are taken from a number of these Networks; we hope they inspire and encourage you in your own STEAM journeys. To the east of Beachy Head sits the seaside town of Eastbourne, East Sussex. With a rich history of both famous artists (Claude Debussy, George Orwell, Eric Ravilious) and scientists (Frederick Soddy, Thomas Henry Huxley, Bruce Woodgate), it provided a fitting location for the birth of a new network seeking to combine the two subject areas, in a curriculum- crossing approach to learning. Supported by Artswork as part of its mission to increase creative learning opportunities in schools across the South East, the Eastbourne STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths) Network formed in November 2017. Education, arts and science organisations came together, along with six participating secondary schools from Eastbourne and the surrounding area, to investigate the ways art and science could work simultaneously, in a series of cross-curricular projects.

  • Newsletter No. 3 – December 2017 Dear Parents/Carers
    1 Newsletter No. 3 – December 2017 Dear Parents/Carers It has been another successful, productive term in the life of the school with much to celebrate and strong pupil progress evident. I am pleased to inform you that Rother District Council approved planning permission for a four court sports hall on the field last week. LCVAP funding, supported by 10% funding from the Governors’ Fund, will now allow us to build the sports hall with a hopeful completion date of October 2018. This is fantastic news for the college and, in particular, for the PE department who will be able to extend their curriculum diet and ensure that physical activities are available to the pupils, whatever the weather! I look forward to sharing further news with you as the project gets underway. We began the term celebrating the talents of the pupils in music and dance when they performed at the annual Proms event. Over one hundred pupils were involved in a thoroughly polished performance of ‘Supermarket Flowers’ and ‘Needed Time/I wish I knew how it feels to be free’. The standard achieved by all involved can only be described as exceptional. Days later, the choir were again in demand at our Annual Certificate and Prize Evening held at the De La Warr Pavilion. They performed a short concert to our guests and leavers ending the evening with John Rutter’s ‘May the Lord bless you and Keep You’ as a final farewell and thank you to our leavers. We were delighted to welcome Father Aaron Spinelli, a former pupil, as guest speaker.
