The DfE White Paper ‘Every Child Achieving and Thriving’ (Feb 2026) through a Speech Bubbles lens by Elizabeth Kennedy — Speech Bubbles Does the paper promote creativity, communication, confidence, inclusive oracy, and greater access to the arts?

A cautious response to DfE's white paper. It's encouraging to see a shift for expressive arts in schools. Progress depends on leadership & time.

🎉 We would like to take a moment to say Thank you to everyone supporting Speech Bubbles CIO! Your generosity is making a real impact in schools across the UK. Last year we worked with 1000 children, 54 schools and 12 theatre partners. #SpeechBubblesCIO #MakingADifference

We have worked with three volunteers from the Trust and accessed Action Learning sessions and online training. They are always supportive and understanding of our position as a small charity, and always laser focussed on specific and effective support!

We all need a little help sometimes.
