Researching the West Sussex CEP

What do we need to know to do what we want to do?

The national scene and the local picture

Drawing up a strategy specific to West Sussex

Durham Commission on Creativity in Education (October 2019)

Arts and culture should be an essential part of the education of every child. A national network of Creativity Collaboratives should be established Schools collaborate in establishing and sustaining the conditions required for nurturing creativity in the classroom, across the curriculum. Schools should nominate a champion for creativity with a voice at the level of senior leadership and exposure at the level of school governance. Such schools should be recognised and encouraged, including via the Ofsted inspection process. Young people should be better prepared for the changing world of work; and qualification frameworks should reflect the value of creativity for the current and future workforce.

Example Case Study: Creative Education Trust (est. 2010). 13,500 pupils across 17 schools

“All but one school had been judged as requiring improvement

• r placed in special measures at the time it joined Creative

Education Trust; all but one (the most recent joiner) are now classed as Good.”

‘a universal, inclusive creative education’

• “Our recommendations call

for a range of organisations to deliver this vision. These

• rganisations include the

Department for Education (DfE), Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), Ofsted, Ofqual, Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education, Nesta, BBC, Arts Council England and Local Cultural Education Partnerships (LCEPs).”

The Durham Commission Vision

“Notably, it is among young people from disadvantaged backgrounds where opportunities for creativity are now most limited. Such neglect and exclusion is not acceptable

• r desirable for the future of our people and country.”
• Durham Report, 2019

• Of the 10 highest PP secondary schools in

West Sussex, 10% “Require Improvement”

• Of the 10 highest PP primary schools in

West Sussex, 60% “Require Improvement”

• Higher PP numbers don’t necessarily

translate to lower attainment

• Look for clusters of schools in a locality
• Focus on an urbanity; a coastal area; and an

inland, rural location

Pulborough

Partnerships / stakeholder mapping

• Cultural organisations and venues (theatres, museums,

galleries, historic properties, gardens)

• Individual artists / creative practitioners

work within

Next Steps in the R&D Phase

• Survey adults working with C&YP
• Build a school network
• Set up special interest groups
