The future of primary education could be at a crossroads. With the Labour Government calling for a curriculum that is “rich and broad, inclusive and innovative,” the time has come to rethink how we inspire young minds. Creativity isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the key to unlocking deeper learning, fostering engagement, and equipping children with the skills they need for an unpredictable world.

That’s why we’ve gathered insights from forward-thinking school leaders on how a creativity-first approach can transform learning. From cross-curricular projects to the role of technology in immersive storytelling, this piece explores bold ideas that could redefine what’s possible in the classroom.
Are we ready to put creativity at the heart of primary education?
