Good morning!

I hope you had a restful summer break. I’m writing to introduce (or re-introduce) you to Birmingham Arts School (BAS), part of the Birmingham Education Partnership. We’re here to support your school in enhancing its arts and cultural provision across all key stages, including Dance, Drama, Visual Art, Digital Art, Poetry, and Music.

Why the Arts Matter: While the arts might not always be your top priority, they play a crucial role in helping young people understand their identities and cultures. Moreover, integrating the arts into education fosters creativity, confidence, and critical thinking—skills essential for thriving in today’s digital and innovative world. BAS is here to help you make a meaningful impact through arts education this year. We are incredibly excited for our programme this year and you can read about all our plans in our latest blog: https://bep.education/bas/bas-monthly-blog-2023-24/
