Arts Education Service

Nursery children learn music  

School pupils in West Lothian enjoy a very broad range of cultural activities in school because the Arts Education Service works to maximise the impact and contribution that arts can make to learning.

Working with professional arts organisations and individuals the Arts Education Service provides a strategic, planned arts education programme for schools which supports learning and teaching across the curriculum.

Cultural Co-ordinators provide a continuous programme of high quality arts education projects for pupils and teachers. They work with professional organisations and individuals giving direct access to some of the best national and international work.

The Dance Development Programme is an important part of the Arts Education Service and provides a programme of community dance classes, teaching in educational and community settings, training and professional development in dance and the presentation of professional dance at Howden Park Centre in Livingston.
