    Situation

    Creative Futures aims to help narrow the educational attainment gap between the most and least disadvantaged (there is a 19-month attainment gap between the most and least disadvantaged children entering school), as well as helping all children to achieve their potential. We focus on working with children under 5 in areas of multiple deprivation, with children with Special Educational Needs, and with Looked After Children and Young People - some of the most vulnerable in society.

    Solution

    We devise and deliver high-quality, creative arts programmes which support and nurture children in a number of ways. Our projects are all delivered by inspiring, experienced professional artists: musicians, poets, artists, dancers, film-makers and dramatists. Our activities help build children's key skills, e.g. speech & communication, listening and turn-taking, confidence and self-expression. Each project tackles specific needs and is designed specifically for those involved.
