Schools Partnership Programme
Shaper/Caper’s Schools Partnership Programme is a dedicated resources area designed to enhance the pedagogic work of primary school teachers. Drawing from over 20-year experience delivering high-quality workshops and education programmes for children and teachers across the UK, the One Dance UK 2020 winners on Inspirational Work in Education and Outreach, have created an accessible, digital and live offer to schools to support curriculum-based learning through creativity.
The Schools Partnership Programme offers unlimited access to high-quality Creative Learning resources to be used as part of the classwork to enhance literacy, numeracy or health and wellbeing, or as pure entertainment on a rainy day.
