How you will use your shabti?
This is a creative, innovative project where the more you put in the more you will get out. Our pilot schools have shown that the hook of the artefact is a fantastic way to bring staff, pupils and the community together around a real point of pride and inspiration.

We have a very limited number of spaces on the project and expect demand to be high. Therefore we will prioritise schools who can demonstrate in their application that:

- their teachers will benefit from the collaborative CPD and development opportunities 
- they will use their shabti creatively (e.g. across a broad curriculum, to teach history innovatively, or for parental engagement in learning) 
- the shabti would have a wide impact in their school community (e.g. a high number of individuals will be in contact with it and/or plans will allow for deep and rich engagement) 

Don't worry if you don't have exact plans yet - we'll be supporting you with this over the summer and at the collaborative planning and CPD day in September. For now, we just need an outline of your ideas in answer to the questions below.
Please tell us about who would be the prime audience for your hosted shabti (which teaching staff, year groups, community groups, etc.) *
