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.

The three schools programmes are Schools of Creativity, Change Schools and Enquiry Schools. Click on the links below to find out more about these exciting creative learning programmes. Creative Partnerships also delivers extensive Professional Learning initiatives, as well as the Find Your Talent scheme and the Shine National Youth Festival.
