Paul Hamlyn Foundation (PHF) imagine a fairer school system where every child gets to experience high-quality, arts-based learning as a regular part of their education. They believe the arts can bring real value to teaching and help schools reach their goals for students. This fund achieves this by:

• Supporting arts organisations to work in partnership with formal education settings leading to a mutual exchange and enrichment of expertise
• Focusing on pupils who experience systemic inequity and enabling them to make progress and overcome barriers to learning
• Exploring the role of arts-based learning in addressing issues of inclusion, especially racism, in education
• Creating more opportunities for high quality arts-based teaching and learning in education settings, especially in those which have not had this work in the past
• Enabling arts-based learning to be embedded in curricula and practice for the long-term
• Building a body of evidence and practice, and understanding how the work improves equity for pupils
