Don’t take our word for it. Hear what teachers have to say about Creative Schools.
“We had the whole school exploring culture through dance last week. We could never have achieved this and all the other connections without the support of Creative Schools. Our approach now feels much more cohesive. We are connected as an arts(mark) team, as a whole school and actually beyond. We are now part of something bigger’

These experiences, [...] not only allowed them to flourish but also contributed to their further development.”

“What an amazing event. Super useful information, presentations, connections and advice. Absolutely LOVED the exhibition. I hadn’t heard of it before and I’ll try going myself every year now. As a primary art teacher I was totally inspired.“
