Could your school be even more creative?

Creative Partnerships is a Government programme, funded by the DCSF and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) that enables schools to work in partnership with other professionals - including architects, dancers, engineers, musicians, scientists and web designers — to develop an exciting and relevant curriculum that fosters the creativity of all learners and teachers.

Creative Partnerships offers schools:

a free practical guide to working with an external partner to inspire creative learning
a school creativity self-evaluation form

The handbook covers the following areas:

understanding creative learning
finding and funding partners
defining and evaluating outcomes
planning and delivering projects
sharing the learning

You can find out more details and download the handbook and self-evaluation form by visiting the Creative Partnerships website. A printed copy of the handbook is available and you can also complete the self-evaluation form online.
