  1. One large hall for performance and music exploration with 2 tables for the whole day with no interruptions. This will be the performance/sharing space at the start and the end of the day.
  2. One large class space very close to the large hall – desks to be arranged in a large group formation for lyrics/poetry exploration. The close proximity of the rooms is very important due to the organic nature of Myth of Her.
  • Safeguarding: Sarah Sayeed has an Enhanced DBS raised by SMH, the number and date of issue will be provided by SMH. Anne Eltard has a translation of the Danish equivalent which will be risk assessed against. All members of the SMH team have Enhanced DBSs, the number and date of issue will be provided by SMH. The photographer will have an Enhanced DBS.
  • SMH celebrates music through capturing projects and performances. SoundLab will be captured by still photography on the day of the workshop. It is the school’s responsibility to ensure that all children have been granted photo permissions for this to take place. The photographer will accommodate needs around safeguarding LAC/ vulnerable individuals, with agreement in advance. These images will celebrate the work on the SMH Flickr account which can be shared with your families/on your website whilst helping to secure future funding/expansion of this project. For an example of how SMH uses imagery, please see our Flickr or YouTube accounts:
  • *Data requirements for each class broken down into: boys/ girls/ FSM/ SEN/ PP/ SEN + PP as per Arts Council England agreement. This data will be used to secure future funding for phase 2 and 3. Please note without this data, your school will not be able to take part.
  • As a school, we understand that both artists are traveling over to Sheffield for these two days. In particular, Anne Eltard will be flying in from Denmark and any disruption to the project due to European travel is outside of the control of SMH. Any adjustments, due to weather/ travel interruptions will be discussed with the project lead and Colette Dutot should this scenario arise. We hope not!
  • You understand that as a school, if you withdraw from this project SMH you may be charged up to £500.
