Good as my word, I have created a site for everyone involved in the White City Story Archives. This will help us share all the thoughts, documents, pictures and creative work from the project. It will also help us share the project with a wider community, including parents of the schools involved, residents of the White City area of London interested in its local history and people interested in enquiry-based learning.

White City Story Archives is a Creative Partnerships project with three primary schools in Hammersmith and Fulham:

St Stephens C of E Primary

Wormholt Park Primary

Wendell Park Primary

The Creative Partners are:

Sara Haq

Dimitri Launder

Kevin Graal

The project aims to inspire the schools to begin using enquiry-based methods across the curriculum, by developing crack teams of young creative researchers. These teams are using the history of the White City exhibition, built for the Olympics 100 years ago in 1908, as a stimulus to develop their skills as creative thinkers, questioners and communicators. It is a brief project but we hope to leave the schools with a toolkit and an amazing expandable story archive that will keep growing as more children follow the trail of their curiosity.
