We are looking for three Tutor Assistants to work with us on the 7 Schools 1 Town Project.
7 Schools 1 Town is a performance project with year 3 & 4 pupils from schools across Ipswich, creating dance films about what is it like to be living in Ipswich.

The project will culminate in an exciting mass site-specific dance performance with all children & teachers from the 7 schools involved.
