About the Lead Creative Schools Scheme

The Lead Creative Schools Scheme aims to promote new ways of working in schools through developing an innovative programme of learning in collaboration with Creative Practitioners, that is designed to improve the quality of creative teaching and learning and to embed this practice within schools.

 

 

 

In Lead Creative Schools, pupils, teachers and creative professionals work together to plan, implement, reflect and evaluate a creative project or projects. It facilitates a process where all the partners work together to co-construct the learning. It supports enquiry based learning, ongoing reflection and in-depth evaluation, leading to sustainable and embedded practice.

 

We believe that creativity is not a skill bound within the arts, but a wider ability to question, make connections, and take an innovative and imaginative approach to problem solving.

 

 

The selected practitioner will be required to:

  • Undergo a DBS check as necessary and provide proof of Public Liability Insurance cover
  • Be able to attend a mandatory two-day LCS training course (unless they have already attended Creative Practitioner training for a previous Lead Creative Schools project) with paid travel expenses.
  • CP Training will take place on 28 & 29 November (Aberystwyth).
  • Existing Creative Agents would need to undertake just one day of CP training on 29 November with paid travel expenses.
