Creative Freedoms is back this September! 🎨

Our Programme Manager Iain Perry talks all about the Creative Freedoms programme, how it works, who it’s for, and how schools across Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire can get involved.

The programme supports schools in bringing more creative learning into the classroom, working alongside artists and creative educators to explore new ways of teaching and learning.

We’re now welcoming applications for schools joining us from September
