Edsential aims to encourage young people to explore their artistic and creative potential. It can provide visual, tactile and sensory experiences and an alternative way of responding to the world.
Edsential is a Community Interest Company owned by Cheshire West and Chester Council and Wirral Council to provide services to the Education sector.
It has been created with a private sector head and public sector heart – allowing it the freedom to compete, whilst using any surplus as a direct reinvestment in its services or to support projects in its schools.
Edsential is independent of its stakeholders and serves all schools and institutions, regardless of governance structure (Maintained, Academy, Free School and Independent Sector).
Esdential provides co-created, progressive, quality creative and cultural experiences for schools, families and communities, enabling children and young people to communicate what they see, feel and think and develop new talents, confidence and aspiration.
Cheshire Dance works with schools and educational facilities to integrate the art form into learning. Dance in Education forms an integral part of the Cheshire Dance annual programme.
Cheshire Dance works within the community and in education settings to enrich young lives through dance. Dance & Young People forms an integral part of the principle Cheshire Dance Programme.
