View AmbassadorsAbout Creative Partnerships
Creative Partnerships is the Government’s flagship creative learning programme, designed to develop the skills of young people across England, raising their aspirations and equipping them for their futures. We foster innovative, long-term partnerships between schools and creative professionals, including architects, scientists, multimedia developers and artists.
Where we work
We have worked with over 2,700 schools in areas of deprivation across England, from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 4. We are managed by Arts Council England and funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and the Department for Children, Schools and Families.
What we have achieved
- Schools that work with Creative Partnerships improve their GCSE results faster
- 7 out of 10 secondary headteachers say Creative Partnerships improves pupil behaviour in their school
- Academic evidence shows that Creative Partnerships increases parental engagement in children’s learning
Research at Creative Partnerships
Creative Partnerships research aims to evidence the range of impacts the programme has within schools and to explore in depth the unique contribution creative practice can make to teaching and learning.
