The Cathedral Church Of England Voluntary Aided Primary School

In just under one week's time from Tuesday 03 December you can donate to our Big Give Campaign which will support the development of our new teaching resource: the Primary Creativity Cards.  By making a donation you'll be helping the next generation of primary school children to tap into their imagination and creativity at the very start of their educational journey.

There are countless reports that have been conducted about the importance of harnessing creativity in education, and like empathy which we’ve focused on for Feel Me, it’s a skill that can be taught. Creativity is important for so many reasons:

• It motivates children to learnand helps them retain information
• It develops cognitive skillslike problem solving and critical thinking
• It supports emotional development and builds resilience
• and it has been proven to help ignite those hard-to-reach students who experience barriers to educationand can so easily fall into the cracks

Not to mention of course the importance of creativity in their future careers too!

The cards will be co-designed with artists, teachers, children and academics and will be a simple and engaging new classroom tool.
 
If you believe that creativity and creative thinking should be at the core of the education of all children and young people, not only afforded to the privileged few, then support us this Christmas by making a donation to our Big Give Campaign between midday Tuesday 03 and Tuesday 10 December.
