Hero shallow for education

For education

We believe in the potential of every child and young person and understand the power of creativity to unlock this potential.

We work with schools and education partners to understand their needs, working together to create projects and opportunities that are meaningful to their settings. We are passionate about creating opportunities for children and young people that enable them to gain access to live projects, performance opportunities and work with industry professionals.

We can also attend careers fairs and visit school for talks and practical sessions to enable students to learn more about the options available to them. Or talk to you about how to provide opportunities for students with Pupil Premium funding.

Please contact thepoint@eastleigh.gov.uk to start a conversation with us about how we could work with your setting.

During the week, the team will meet artists and Point staff.
