Year 2
We are excited to share with you our Year 2 Report from the Penryn Creativity Collaborative.
During Year 2, 13 colleagues across the Penryn Partnership were inspired to participate in Action Research during the 2022/23 school year. Across our Learning Community, each Action Research coach explored their own research question linked to our emerging language around creative skills and pedagogy.
Our findings can now be found in the Year 2 Report and Action Research Findings below.

About Year 2
Following a year of Questioning, Challenging and Exploring in Year 1, we felt more equipped with the understanding of why creative skills are needed and what creative skills are needed to become better prepared for a changing workforce for our Cornish students. During Year 2 (2022/23), our focus was on Building and Testing. We wanted to develop a model for developing pedagogy across a partnership of schools and to develop leaders and teachers who are promoting and implementing change for the Teaching of Creativity. We are thrilled that 13 colleagues across the Penryn Partnership were inspired to participate in Action Research during the 2022/23 school year. Across our Learning Community, each Action Research coach explored their own research question linked to our emerging language around creative skills and pedagogy.
Our Action Research programme promoted professional collaboration and helped to establish a team of staff as an evidence-based group. Working and learning with the expertise of the team from the University of Exeter, our teachers also worked with industry and cultural partners in their classrooms, allowing them to hold firm to our overarching question about how we prepare young people for a changing workforce. With the guidance and support of the University of Exeter, we wanted to ensure our Action Research allowed us the opportunity to measure the impact of our work.
