What we’re building for schools at our new home
A creative space for learning, growth, wellbeing and community
Peckham Platform’s new home on Peckham Square will be a dedicated space for schools to engage with creativity, culture, and community. We are developing our new learning programme that places social art at the heart of education – supporting students, teachers, and schools to thrive through imaginative, inclusive experiences.
Whilst we build our new home we offer:
Arts Awards
We offer schools and students the chance to achieve nationally recognised qualifications through their participation in our creative programmes. From Discover to Bronze level, we support schools and young people to explore the arts, develop new skills, and reflect on their creative journeys. Delivered in partnership with artists and educators, our Arts Award offer is embedded into workshops and long-term projects, giving students a tangible sense of achievement and boosting their confidence and progression in the arts.
Our future schools programme will offer:
Curriculum-linked creative workshops
In our purpose-built learning spaces, we will deliver hands-on workshops that link directly to the national curriculum across subjects like art, history, science, and geography. Sessions will draw on Peckham’s rich heritage and culture, offering students meaningful, locally rooted learning.
Artist-led projects for students
Students will have opportunities to co-create projects with professional artists, developing work that can be shared in public exhibitions, performances and events. These projects are designed to build ownership, pride, new skills over time and celebrate young peoples creative work and ideas.
Bespoke school partnerships
Our new space will support deep, ongoing partnerships with schools. We will co-design tailored programmes that respond to your school’s specific needs, including options for free or subsidised access for schools with limited arts provision.
A platform to celebrate student work
Our new venue will be a home for student creativity. Schools will be invited to use our galleries and event spaces to host student exhibitions, creative showcases, and celebration events – making young people’s achievements visible and valued.
Creative support for wellbeing
Our learning programme will place student wellbeing at its core. We will provide safe, supportive spaces where creativity helps build confidence, resilience, and emotional literacy – empowering young people to express themselves and connect with their community.
Teacher training and CPD
We aim to offer continuing professional development (CPD) opportunities for educators, sharing creative teaching techniques and strategies for embedding art-based approaches into the classroom – building confidence, creativity, and connection.
A space for creativity, culture, and change
Peckham Platform’s new home will be a centre for inclusive, creative learning. We’re excited to work with schools to shape a new chapter of cultural education in Peckham – one where every student has access to inspiring opportunities to learn, grow, and belong.
We’d love to collaborate – get in touch to meet our team.
