NYT Praised as Government Pushes New Enrichment Vision
Yesterday the Department for Education welcomed the commitment, expertise and passion of National Youth Theatre and other organisations to enable schools and colleges to deliver a strong and well-rounded enrichment offer to all children, in a new schools white paper.
The Government praised the unique ability of civil society organisations like NYT to ‘innovate, mobilise quickly and reach communities in ways government alone cannot’, and invited further organisations to join this effort and help broaden the support.

The Department for Education is building on the work of the wider sector to develop a new Enrichment Framework to support schools and colleges. They are working alongside a working group consisting of experts from schools, youth, sports and arts organisations and research, including NYT CEO & Artistic Director Paul Roseby OBE.
Other organisations referenced in the paper include: the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, Clore Duffield Foundation, Into Film, Raspberry Pi Foundation, Young Enterprise, Youth Sport Trust and Natural History Museum.
