Ofsted commends Watch this Space

The Ofsted report 'Drawing Together' published in April 2009 describes Watch this Space as a 'very successful' contributor to professional development for teachers. It says: 'Impressive work was seen where, as a result of this programme, close partnerships had been established between teachers and gallery educators.'
The report evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of art, craft and design in a sample of primary and secondary schools. It focuses on the readiness of pupils and teachers to respond to widening cultural opportunities and increased flexibility in the curriculum.
