Creative Partnerships
Creative Partnerships is England's flagship creative learning programme for educational settings. The programme brings creative workers like artists, architects and scientists into schools to work with teachers to inspire young people and help them to learn.
These opportunities can dramatically improve children's chances in life and help them develop skills they need for doing well at school and in the workplace in the future.
Creative Partnerships is based on the idea that exposure to the arts and culture can raise aspirations, achievement and skills of young people. There are three programmes of work, Enquiry, Change and Schools of Creativity. Please visit Creative Partnerships for further information on each programme
