Programmes

Creative Partnerships works with maintained schools from Key Stages 1 to 4 across England.

A school can apply to one of three Creative Partnerships Schools programmes according to its needs and its commitment to creative learning. Schools will always receive the support of a creative professional as well as financial support.
