Lead Creative Schools Scheme

The Lead Creative Schools Scheme is a major strand of Creative learning through the arts: an action plan for Wales, supporting schools to develop their practice in line with the four purposes of Curriculum for Wales 2022. The scheme promotes new ways of working in schools using innovative and bespoke programmes of learning, specifically designed to be practical and relevant to schools’ real life curriculum demands.

Schools enter a long-term programme that supports them to:

• work with Creative Practitioners in their classrooms to transform teaching and learning;
• devise and implement a project or programme of work linked to individual school development priorities;
• find creative approaches to literacy, numeracy and to reduce the impact of deprivation on educational attainment;
• embed changes in teaching practice leading to sustainable impact.

Schools are matched with a Creative Agent who works with them to identify how they can develop and embed creativity across the school community. Case studies from the scheme can be found on the Creative Learning Zone.
