Creative partnerships is a programme in England which enables schools to work in partnership with other professionals, including architects, dancers, engineers, musicians, scientists and web designers to develop an exciting and relevant curriculum, fostering the creativity of all learners and teachers.

This guide looks to help schools work with an external partner, to inspire creative learning as well as developing a School Creativity self-evaluation form.

The handbook includes topics such as: understanding creative learning, finding and funding partners, and defining and evaluation outcomes.

Although England focused, it will provide some useful tips about building creativity into school and community focused practice.
