Education
I4YPC are working with a variety of schools across England to enhance the curriculum and provide pupils with a ‘different’ learning experience.
In collaboration with educational professionals, we’re creating a curriculum which is real, relevant and relatable, across a variety of subjects, including English.
I4YPC’s curriculum is enriched with learning opportunities, promotes curiosity, raises aspirations and aims to remove any barriers to learning which might be in place.
I4YPC’s priority is to develop curriculum resources made by young people, for young people.
SCHOOLS:
The David Nieper Academy in Derby will be trialling ‘The Slammer’ – a Performing Arts scheme of work for Year 8’s which brings together Music and Dance and culminates in a live performance.
‘Smithy’s Song’ is a Music based scheme of work which will be trialled by the year 9 pupils at Ridgewood School, Doncaster. This scheme of work explores the characters and context of ‘Innit’ and will help develop the pupils’ song writing skills, with those opting for GCSE Music being able to use their work as an assessed composition.
COLLEGES:
Education needs to be exciting, relatable, inspirational and inclusive for ALL young people.
Educational tools should be fun to access!
Who better to create these, than young people themselves?
This forms part of a KS4 English scheme of work, which we’re currently developing with Manchester Metropolitan University.
Year 13 students at UTC MediaCity have already created many resources for I4YPC as part of their BTEC Assessments – videos, photography, news-flash style reports, posters…you name it!
We’re currently working with Year 12 students across Salford, to create a game which shows the consequences and repercussions of Ashley’s (the main protagonist in ‘Innit’) choices.
We’re also working with Year 13 students at Xaverian College, to create a musical underscore for this game.
Salford City College and The Manchester College are also working with us on a panoply of Live Briefs for their students, across a variety of subjects such as Performing Arts, Creative Media, Construction, Catering, Art and Design, Journalism and Media Make Up.
UNIVERSITIES
We’ve forged strong links with Manchester Metropolitan University’s Faculty of Education.
We recently delivered ‘The Gang’, a KS4 Drama scheme of work, to the Drama PGCE students who will now take this into their placement schools and teach it.
We’ll also be working with MMU’s PGCE English faculty and delivering a KS3 English scheme of work in 2023.
