Welcome to the Creative Learning Guild

We co-ordinate the 'local cultural education partnership' (LCEP) for Calderdale. A network of more than 90 individuals and organisations who are passionate about using creativity to improve the lives of children and young people.

Do you believe creative activity can improve wellbeing? Do you think arts subjects are fundamentally important to an education in which all children can thrive? Do you want to see creativity valued across the curriculum? Do you believe that every person should have regular opportunities to develop and explore their creativity? Then you’re in the right place.

We’re here to champion, connect and inspire you: the innovators, educators and practitioners of Calderdale who live and breathe creative learning.

Creative Learning Awards 2019 The Winners

In 2019 we hosted the UK’s first national creative learning awards. We had people travel from as far north as Glasgow and as far south as Cornwall to share their practice and celebrate their achievements.

We’re now looking at how we can co-ordinate local awards moving forward and celebrate the incredible people and practice taking place on our doorstep.
