Helping every child to be the Hero of their journey
from the classroom, to the stage, and beyond...​

We're passionate about empowering disadvantaged children and young people to find their voice through the magic of the arts.

 

We guide small groups through our ten-week programme

The Hero's Journey, helping each young Hero design and produce their own creative project.

The journey culminates in a once-in-a-lifetime experience: presenting their work on a real stage!

Led by a diverse company of professional storytellers, from artists and actors to playwrights and authors, Caedmon nurtures creativity and courage - giving every child the chance to be seen, heard, and celebrated, whatever their background.

Headteacher

Darlinghurst Primary, Essex

"Most of all, they felt they had been listened to and believed in, and they felt stronger ... I feel I have got to know them better and understand their strengths and weaknesses more. They, in turn, are more able to ask me for help. I feel we have all been on a journey of discovery."
