We do it because these opportunities can dramatically improve children’s chances in life and help them develop the skills they need for doing well at school and in the workplace in future.

Our thinking is based on the idea that exposure to the arts and culture can raise aspirations, achievement and skills of young people.

Lots of parents have told us that one of the great things about Creative Partnerships projects is that their children really open up to them about what they are doing at school for the first time.

Our research has found that pupils who take part in Creative Partnerships enjoy their time at school more, are more confident, behave better and do better in their GCSEs – by, on average, the equivalent of 2.5 grades better.
