Creative Partnerships aims to demonstrate the pivotal role creativity and creative people can play in transforming the way young people engage in learning across every curriculum area.  Managed nationally by Arts Council England, it gives children in 36 areas across England the opportunity to develop their creativity and their ambition by building partnerships between schools and a wide range of creative organisations, businesses and individuals.

Sero is providing Programme Direction and Marketing Strategy, working with The Music Factory, one of the UK’s leading creative sector businesses.  Brigidin Crowther as Creative Director is responsible for working with schools to design and manage delivery of the project programme going forward, foster sustainable relationships with creative practitioners, support associated research activities, initiate Creative Learning Networks and lead on evaluation.  Sero is also working closely with The Music Factory to support dissemination of the creative learning practice from the programme.

We have developed a fresh strategy for CP BDR which seeks to reinforce the best of what has been achieved so far, emphasise impact and reflection, link to key strategic initiatives at local and national level, and reach into new parts of Barnsley Doncaster and Rotherham. In particular, we've been looking at greater participation of secondary schools and greater use of digital media.
