Experiment: a funded, teacher-led enquiry

Creative Learning Cymru is pleased to announce the second year of the Experiment programme, a simple, funded opportunity designed for busy schools across Wales to explore new ideas in a practical, low risk way.

Experiment is a teacher‑led programme that supports schools to strengthen literacy or health and wellbeing by placing learner voice, creativity and co‑leadership at the heart of the work. No previous experience of creative learning is required to take part, just curiosity and a willingness to try something different.

Each participating school will be matched with an experienced Creative Learning Partner who offers practical support, time to think, and honest conversation as the work develops, with the aim of supporting and extending existing practice rather than adding to workload.

The programme does not expect a perfect plan or a polished outcome; instead, Experiment focuses on the process of trying an idea, reflecting on what works or does not and using that learning to decide practical next steps.

What Experiment offers

  • a Creative Learning Partner paired with your school;

  • £2,000 to develop your idea;

  • a space to experiment, refine and try again;

  • a clear focus on literacy or health and wellbeing, and learners as co‑leaders throughout the journey.

Further information 

The application window is now open and closes at 5pm on Wednesday 10 June 2026. Further information is available by visiting our website. Schools can also email creative.learning@arts.wales with “Experiment Enquiry” as the subject line to arrange a conversation with a Project Lead.
