Art, culture and design will help new schools excel

MADE has appointed a new officer to champion artistic and cultural activity in new school buildings. Building Schools for the Future is a major capital programme which promises to transform secondary education. Funded by the Arts Council, this West Midlands-wide post will support local authorities and schools in excellent design and community engagement.

Anthony Ruck joins us as Arts and Culture Adviser (BSF) after Easter. Anthony has worked with the Sorrell Foundation and National Council for Voluntary Youth Service and more recently has been running his own design business in London.
