Studio Cultivate’s workshops during Covid
Do you provide all materials for the workshops?
The safety and wellbeing of our audiences is paramount and we continue to pay close attention and to respond as necessary to the Covid pandemic. In 2020 we were able to deliver a number of workshops in a Covid safe and secure manner. This is an ongoing, continuous process and our health and safety protocols are updated regularly. If you have any questions, or would like to see an existing H&S assessment please do get in touch.
Our handy toolkits mean that we’re able to bring along almost all the materials needed for each workshop. The only materials we ask the school to provide are for the school’s garden creation- soil, vermiculite, bamboo and clay. (We can advise on exact products). Depending on the school’s size, this is an additional cost of approx £30/year.
Can you be flexible with times?
Times are fixed to a single weekly slot as agreed by your school and Studio Cultivate at the start of the programme.
Do you require parking?
No parking required. Studio Cultivate programmes are designed to delivered using tricycles and bicycles.
Are all your staff DBS checked?
Yes. For more please read our Safeguarding Policy.
Do school staff members need to be present during the workshops?
We always encourage schools to provide a staff member to attend workshops. This allows staff to participate in the workshop's subject and narrative and allows for more enriched, further learning opportunites for pupils. School's staff-pupil ratios also will need to be observed at all times.
We have a very small outdoor area, do you need lots of space?
Not at all. Our outdoor learning programmes can be tailored to outdoor spaces big and small. We can also utilise local parks and public spaces subject to permissions. (See more below)
Our school doesn't have a garden, does this matter?
No. Our workshops are designed to work well in both indoor and outdoor locations. We do however encourage trips to school's local parks as part of our programmes. This allows pupils to apply their newly acquired skills and knowledge to different outdoor contexts. These trips are scheduled and organised by Studio Cultivate and school staff members a number of weeks in advance to allow school to make appropriate plans.
