Socioeconomic inequalities map directly to cultural access inequities. Tackling these disparities is essential so that all children, regardless of background, can benefit from the transformative power of art and cultural engagement.

The decline in extra-curricular activities in schools is worrying, as they can act as catalysts within an inclusive education system for the development of empathy, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.

School absence is prevalent amongst SEND children, those from deprived backgrounds, and those in areas with issues such as unreliable public transport. These issues must be addressed at pace to tackle longer term problems.

Many children across the UK are missing out on the full benefits that education could and should offer. High rates of absenteeism, exclusion, and children missing education are particularly prevalent among our most vulnerable groups.

Centre for Applied Education Research @caerbradford.bsky.social · 20/03/2025

We need to be bold in our ambition to develop truly inclusive education and support creativity across our schools at a time when we have an attendance crisis, and many children feel they do not belong in the education system.

Embedding creativity in the school curriculum more effectively would reap significant benefits.

We call on the Government to meet its pledge to support the study of creative & vocational subjects in school, alongside embedding teaching for creativity into the curriculum & ensuring Ofsted inspections reflect the importance of creativity & the arts to attainment and inclusion.

Our latest report with @cfyounglives.bsky.social @childofthenorth.bsky.social, the final installment of a year-long series, was published last week. It warned the talents of millions of children are being ignored, and called for creativity to be embedded into an inclusive school curriculum.

We make recommendations to the Government in 3 key policy areas: cultivating creativity and critical thinking through inclusive education; increasing arts investment to create an inclusive education system; and enriching education by connecting schools to cultural institutions.
