Help! Milford Haven School is desperately seeking an experienced, dynamic and resilient Creative Practitioner(s) to help breathe life into our forthcoming Creative Schools Project.
The successful applicant will support us in shaping and delivering a project to help us guide a group of Year 9 learners on a journey to explore and report upon the hidden history of Milford Haven.
Using a range of media (digital/print/performance), the project aims to bring to life the secret stories of the town and share them (in whatever form) with our school and local community. In doing so, you’ll be helping the young people involved develop a sense of cynefin for their hometown; inspire their inquisitiveness, imagination and persistence; and turbo-charge their literacy skills ready for their all important GCSE years.
You’ll be working with a group of 13-14 year-olds, vocal and energetic, looking to seize the opportunity to descend on their local community and discover what history lies beneath the surface. An enthusiastic group of 25 - 18 boys and 7 girls- they’ll make you laugh, they’ll make you cry! They’ll talk your ear off! And now they are seeking to channel their voices into productive use, boosting their creative literacy skills ready for GCSE and leaving a long-lasting legacy for the school and wider community.
We’re looking for a person (or people) to help us tiller this ship! You will be loud, energetic, and most importantly: fun!! Perhaps you are a poet or storyteller, who can engage the students in creative ways and help them to express themselves orally; a person who can bring history to life and get the students excited about their community. You will be confident and an expert in various artistic mediums as well as digital technology. You must be able to not only guide the most enthused but inspire those who lack confidence.
