Borough of Culture - School's Consultation Survey

 
Lewisham Education Arts Network (LEAN) is leading on consultations with Lewisham schools about Lewisham Borough of Culture 2022.

Throughout March and April, LEAN will be running a series of focus groups, online surveys and 1-2-1 interviews with teachers to help us understand what Lewisham schools think of the proposed Borough of Culture programme and empower us to articulate the needs, ideas, and concerns of schools back to Lewisham Council. We would like as many teachers and school staff across the breadth of Lewisham to complete the below survey and share their thoughts.
