Dear Sir
GUIDELINES ON EXPRESSIVE ARTS 5-14
This circular conveys to education authorities and schools
guidance from the Secretary of State on the teaching of
the Expressive Arts to pupils aged 5-14. In preparing the
guidance account has been taken of the responses received
to SOED Working Paper No 6: Expressive Arts 5-14, which
was issued in February 1991. The Secretary of State is grateful
to all who responded to the invitation to comment contained
in that Working Paper.
The Secretary of State believes that the guidance now issued
provides a sound basis for a coherent and progressive approach
to the Expressive Arts in primary and early secondary education.
Through the use of these guidelines schools should be able
to ensure for each pupil a balanced and rewarding experience
of this area of the curriculum.
The Secretary of State commends the guidelines and invites
education authorities and schools to use them as the basis
of their Expressive Arts programmes from the beginning of
session 1992-93.
Any enquiries about the circular should be made to Mr
M G Wright (Telephone 031-244-4433) at the above address.
Yours faithfully
