Freshbrook Village Centre, Swindon School aims for arts college status
Now well into its second year and with experience of delivering the
arts curriculum using professional artists, media experts and musicians,
Isambard is making a bid to become a specialist arts college.
The school is home to the Flux project which comes to an end next July
after three years funding. The £100,000 capital grant and £129 per pupil an-
nually over four years would continue arts and media development work,
currently undertaken by Flux. The school has to support its bid with £50,000
in local business sponsorship. A decision is expected in the Spring.
Hundreds of people, from toddlers to grandparents, enjoyed the Flux Under the Sea
Festival in glorious weather at the end of September. Children dressed as mermaids
and pirates, enjoyed games, face painting, street theatre, a magical sea grotto and
