Leadership and Creativity
Brundrett, Mark

There has been a growing resurgence of interest in creativity in primary schools which has acted as a counterpoint to some of the more reductivist elements of the introduction of the National Curriculum and associated methods of testing. This article reports on a study of one primary school that has had some significant success in enhancing the creative life of the school and has won the "Arts Mark" for its efforts. The achievements of the school are outlined; the organisational structures that have contributed to the development of creative activity in the school are noted; and lessons to be learned about developing the capacity for creativity in schools are discussed.
