The Sajja Arts work alongside a number of Sandwell Primary Schools. Working in partnership with Ingestre Arts Residential Centre has allowed us to be in regularly contact with schools visiting for residential stays at the fantastic Ingestre Hall. All our creative leaders work in the school environment and often run workshops with Sandwell schools in preparation for the children’s visit later in the year.
