Preparing for a Creative Future: A report from Penryn Partnership Creativity Collaboratives

Researchers from the University of Exeter School of Education are working with Penryn College in a ‘Creativity Collaborative’ investigating whether teaching for creativity across the curriculum leads to young people who are better prepared for their future in a changing workforce.  We are excited to be sharing our findings from Year 1 through a report which can now be downloaded here: Creativity Collaboratives – Inspiring Teaching and Learning

Creativity Collaboratives is an England-wide initiative, building a network of schools that will test a range of innovative approaches to teaching for creativity.  It is funded by Arts Council England with support from the Freelands Foundation, and began in October 2021.  The Penryn Partnership is one of eight national pilots, led by Penryn College with eight local primary schools and research partner, the School of Education at the University of Exeter.   The Penryn Partnership is led by Sarah Childs, lead practitioner from Penryn College, with the expertise of Associate Professor Kerry Chappell, Ursula Crickmay and Professor Alex Thornton from the University of Exeter.

During year 1 we explored why creative skills are needed in a changing workforce and what creative skills are needed for Cornish students to become better prepared, as well as exploring approaches to teaching and learning across the partnership. Based on our findings, we developed a ‘Better Prepared for a Creative Future’ framework that describes creative skills and maps them across different key stage groups.
