Northumberland

Creative Partnerships Northumberland is a catalyst for 'blue sky' thinking in education. Fostering long term partnerships which stimulate bold new ways of working. Striving to bring teachers, families and creatives together equipped with the resources to enthral and inspire young people making schools fun and exciting places to be. Where differences are valued and celebrated and learning is seen as a way of widening horizons and visualising ambitious futures.

We aim to demystify the creative and cultural sectors, show pathways to future employment and encourage ownership of the county's rich cultural heritage.

Encouraging an environment where teachers dare to ask questions that they don't know the answers to and lead their pupils through thought processes and investigations towards answers.

We believe that as science and technology are changing the world at such a pace, education should aim to develop in young people ambitious, imaginative, enquiring minds, along with the confidence, thinking skills and tools needed to seek out and invent answers.

Creative Partnerships Northumberland engages the imaginations of educators, creative practitioners and young people in dynamic, innovative and sustainable partnerships designed to increase enjoyment and raise creative thinking skills and aspirations.
