Driven by concerns over a diminishing creative curriculum in schools, we are working in regional schools, academy trusts, with arts education partners and with funders to advocate for creativity as a central part of every child’s education. Our Think, Talk, Make Art programme supported teachers’ creative professional development in nine schools over three years.

We continue to work with the Truro Penwith Academy Trust in supporting a STEAM curriculum in their proposed new school at Perranporth. With them, we are developing a project establishing creativity at the foundation of this proposed new school as the pioneer cohort transition into it.
