Nugent Education 1.33

Nugent Education was set up over a decade ago by two brothers, one a teacher and a Key Skills College Coordinator, the other a poet, ESOL teacher, workshop artist and award winning writer.

Nugent Education began by providing rapping to improve literacy workshops and courses, later expanding into more urban arts such as graffiti art, DJ skills and break dancing.

In 2007 they expanded into more areas, and began providing visual, performing and creative arts workshops and courses. They also provide cultural arts activities such as African drumming and Japanese origami and Japanese manga art.

The joint backgrounds of the founders, Leighton Nugent and Ashleigh Nugent ensured that they were well placed, to create courses that embody subject (art, English, music, drama) curriculum areas. As a result, they began to increasingly get utilised by schools, looking to create more interesting curriculums.

They worked with schools, developing courses that sat alongside art, literacy, music and more. They even delivered rapping to improve literacy workshops’.

Another key component in this successful provider is that many of the artists do more than deliver workshops to schools and children’s / youth centres. They are active in their given genres. Put differently, our rappers do live gigs, our graffiti artists and DJ’s enter competitions and dancers who choreograph their own routines.

Nugent Education Ltd believes that many important issues, be it health, drugs, citizenship, gang violence and other issues, can be tackled through arts workshops. By making the given area, the subject of say a mural, or what we write raps about, these themes can be discussed with young people in a positive and fun way.

Many youth and children’s organisations, as well as schools, contact us to assist them in embodying a plethora of objectives.

The company now has artists in Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, and London and beyond, and can provide workshops across the country (England and Wales).

Fashion and culture change, as does what’s popular with young people! Nugent Education Limited, work hard to ensure new (CRB checked) artists are delivering up to date and popular activities that children and young people enjoy.

This company delivers a plethora of activities and courses, and has a proven track record of achievement. They are booked and re-booked by a range of schools and children’s and youth organisations continually, testimony to this.
