London East and South Case Studies
During the 2005/06 academic year London East and South commissioned 11 case studies that document a diverse range of projects in schools. Each case study includes an outline of the project, identifies the impact and outcomes and features reflections from teachers, students and creative partners.

Learning about Learning: Preferred Learning Styles and Creativity Action Research Programme
A series of reflections and tools by teachers and creative partners documenting work undertaken in 10 London East schools as part of a two year action research programme.

Pathways to Value
In 2005/06, a research team from the London Multimedia Lab at the London School of Economics and Political Science undertook extensive research in four London East schools. This report contains findings from fieldwork conducted in the four schools between January and July 2006 focusing on the impact of Creative Partnerships projects taking place in the schools during this period.

The Olympic and Paralympic Games
The values of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games focus on the aspirations of young people. Welcoming the world to London and the UK presents us all with an opportunity to understand ourselves in a new way, developing models of working together in a vision where culture and education will stand side by side with sport at the heart of the 2012 Games. Since spring 2005 Creative Partnerships London East and South has been working with schools and partners to explore how creative learning can support the realisation of these ideals. We have produced a number of publications as a result of this work.

The Biggest Learning Opportunity on Earth: How London's Olympics could work for young people in schools
In 2006 Creative Partnerships London East and South commissioned Demos to explore and develop an understanding of the experiences of previous Olympic cities and identify how they attempted to engage young people in schools in different types of creative activity in response to the Games.

Making Your Own Rules: The Olympics, education and young people with learning differences
A second report commissioned from Demos that examines the opportunity that the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympic Games will present to young people with learning differences in schools in east and south London.

Olympics Literacy Resource
Creative Partnerships London East and South's work around the Olympic and Paralympic Games has focused on how best to prepare schools and partners for the opportunities ahead. The material in this resource created by Apples & Snakes and Eelyn Lee Productions demonstrates practical approaches to producing content around this opportunity.

Raising the Game: schools, creative organisations and the challenge of the London 2012 Games
A report by Alice King-Farlow documenting the outcomes of six projects that explored how the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games might act as a stimulus to young people's creativity and how they could make their own personal connection to the Games and the changes it will bring to their area.
