Inspired from the words of Her Grace, the late Duchess of Abercorn, The Pushkin Trust’s theme for this year ‘Hitch the Sails!’, explores the element of air. It is designed to bring freedom and individuality within our learning, curiosity and wonder, as each child and educator delves into their own voice, finding inner confidence from creativity and the whispers within that breeze.
‘The cloth of Pushkin’s sail is woven from fairytale and myth that speak to us by the way of metaphor and symbol. These symbols reverberate in our ears and in our hearts long after the one who has aired them is silent.’
Sacha Abercorn, A Brief History of the Pushkin Trust, Sourcing Voices, 2014.

Our new theme this academic year is ‘Hitch the Sails!’, embracing the element of air.

We look forward to another wonderful year of creativity within the special and unique grounds of our private estate.
We had three outstanding days of movement, environmental, interactive story-making and digital sound-scape workshops within the grounds of our private estate with Year 9 pupils from Drumragh Integrated College and Castlederg High School. Students and teachers were inspired during the programme as they explored through The Arts together. Doorways to self-confidence, new interests and individual abilities were opened, wide and new relationships were fostered. Well done to everyone involved!
Between May and June 2023, we welcomed many KS2 classes and their teachers to explore the theme of ‘Reforestation of the Imagination’, and the element of earth. It was a joy to watch the children collaborate with each other through Creative Writing, Poetry, Drumming, Dance, Visual Art and Sculpture within the private grounds of Baronscourt which continue to embrace and inspire us. Children and teachers left feeling inspired and connected having spent time creating, exploring and learning new skills with other schools, cross-community. Well done to everyone involved!
