We work with schools and educators in a range of settings to promote, support and embed innovative approaches that help to nurture creativity and improve wellbeing. We work with schools and teachers to co-develop projects that address specific needs working with exceptional creative practitioners. In this way we bring together the combined knowledge and skills of educators and creators to develop new approaches and innovative project models.
We embed CPD, skills and knowledge sharing for teachers within each project, allowing new ideas and methods to develop in school and be rolled out to new groups. This investment in teachers builds tools and techniques that schools can employ independently beyond the lifetime of the original project.
We build relationships with schools and exceptional arts organisations in their area, developing connections with specialists in specific art forms, information about creative experiences for teachers and students and ways that organisations can support creative curriculum delivery.
We host teacher networking events and support delivery of Artsmark and Arts Award. We engage teachers in surveys of creative curriculum needs, to inform and develop programmes that provide teachers and schools with targeted and meaningful support.
We have published a Creativity Framework to help articulate progression in creativity, a series of case studies of project models in nurseries, primary and secondary schools and other resources to support delivery and advocacy for creative projects (visit Our Impact below to explore).
