An online arts and education resource for London Schools. LONSAS matches schools with artists and arts organisations, promoting academic achievement and creativity across the curriculum. Winona developed the original LONSAS site (2004) and took on management duties at the end of 2005 when the service was put out to tender. We put together a new management team and relaunched the service and the web site in January 2006. 

The new service includes a directory of artists and arts organisations as potential schools collaborators (all with school references and current CRB checks); a CRB service for the arts community; bi-monthly newsletters to our arts and education communities; a knowledgebase of useful information for the arts education sector and many more useful resources besides.

LONSAS has 95% of London schools registered (up from 10% in 2005) and the service is firmly established as an essential site for teachers and artists involved in arts/education projects.

Winona recently won a bid to provide an equivalent service for the West Midlands region and will be launching a new multi region service in summer 2009.
