Creativity

The OFSTED report 'Expecting the unexpected' emphasised that schools need to work with external creative people and organisations.

Schools looking to improve their creativity could seek possible partnerships with their local museum.
For children to be creative, they need stimuli. These may include objects or buildings that stimulate expressive responses, but may also include difficult, real-life problems that require creative thinking to solve.

Creative Partnerships

Works with schools in specified areas where social inclusion is an issue.
Aims to promote creativity in learning, school partnerships with creative organisations and increased access to high-quality cultural activities.
Check the Creative Partnerships website to see if there is a Creative Partnership near you. They may already be working with museums or other organisations.
Contact your local museum or Museum Development Officer to find out about museums who are interested in working in partnership.
