At Springfield, we believe in the power of Arts & Culture and the impact this can have on our students. Whether this is learning to express ourselves, collaborating with each other or developing new skills, we believe every child is entitled to an 'Arts rich' curriculum.

'Arts education is not a luxury, it's a necessity. It's really the air many kids breathe. It's how we get kids excited about getting up and going to school in the morning. It's how we get them to take ownership of their future'
