Club Creative takes pride in being flexible, responsive and non-prescriptive. We work in partnership with schools and pupils to create bespoke projects. We can work with all ages and abilities from small groups of students to entire year groups
We can work across the curriculum to create projects that raise attainment, improve literacy and numeracy, train teachers and deliver a whole school approach to creative learning.
Club Creative is delighted to be providing a series of taster drama workshops for TASC in Middlesbrough. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A SERVICE PROVISION FOR A SPECIFIC GROUP AND IS NOT A DROP IN DRAMA WORKSHOP.
TASC supports adults with all manner and level of learning disability, autism and profound physical disability. They provide a welcoming, supportive environment with a fantastic range of activities and excellent facilities and support staff. Please visit the TASC website for more information on the amazing services they provide.
In a recent member survey the desire to try drama workshops came out top and we are very excited about starting sessions. Drama can improve concentration and communication skills, boost confidence and of course is loads of fun!
Club Creative has been working with schools in Redcar & Cleveland, Stockton and soon Middlesbrough to provide practical arts based alternative education for the most challenging, disengaged students.
We have years of experience designing learning programmes for those students who for a variety of reasons are not engaging with the school curriculum. Often with a strong Enterprise focus, we will teach students new creative skills whilst working towards a final exhibition, performance or even selling their produce at market to the general public.
The results have been astonishing with students surprising their teachers, support workers and parents with their focus and commitment. We have noticed a marked improvement in concentration, communication skills and confidence in the students.
Our Alternative Provision programmes are designed first and foremost to engage students with creative learning. We can also work with the school to fit the programme into existing qualification frameworks.
Another great week in Lady Lumley’s School in Pickering and Ryedale in Nawton. Funded with the last of the Extended School budget (another victim of the cuts) these fantastic creative days allow Y6 pupils ‘stepping up’ to Y7 secondary schools the opportunity to have fun, make new friends and feel more confident about the coming academic year.
Activities provided by Club Creative included Graffiti Art, Carnival Drumming, Stage Combat and Bollywood dance. Photos and a short film will be uploaded soon so please keep checking back.
If you are sad to see the demise of Extened Schools funding and co-ordinators please feel free to leave your comments.
Club Creative is delighted to be providing Enterprise Workshops for young people attending Stockton Riverside College. Stockton Borough Council Regeneration and Economic Development department have enlisted our help in delivering two areas of enterprise activity.
The first is working with a group of 18 year olds to create jewellery and accessories which will be sold at Stockton Market. The difference is that these accessories have been made from old computer components and are completely recycled! Pics are here
The second activity is working with a group of 14-15yr olds to learn the basics of digital photography. The group will learn basic techniques then create their own abstract photographs using professional standard equipment. The images will be printed and mounted in recycled frames for sale at Stockton Market. Images will follow in due course.
If you would like to know how Club Creative can help your organisation deliver Alternative Provision, Enterprise Activities or any other type of creative activity, please get in touch.

Here are some pics from the last few weeks of after school art clubs that Club Creative is running at John E Batty primary in Redcar. We are running art clubs for every year group across the 2010-11 academic year
I am delighted that our newly launched Corporate Entertainment & Training packages have got off to a great start. The Fairbridge Project are a well established national charity helping vulnerable young people who are NEET get training and employment opportunities. They have training arm – Fairbridge Training – who train youth workers, teachers and anyone who works with young people in how to engage and get results. They are having an annual meeting this week with their national team of trainers and asked for something different, fun and creative that their trainers could take away with them and build into their own techniques. This proved quite a challenge for Club Creative as they have an abundance of core creative skills amongst their staff but we eventually settled on an afternoon of drumming and percussion techniques which is guaranteed to put a smile on their faces, and give the trainers some new techniques for engagement.
We also launch our Arty Parties this week with a physical theatre / drama games Xmas party for Dormanstown Youthie. The group of 40 children aged 8-13yrs will enjoy a high energy, action packed physical theatre session that will encourage teamwork and co-operation to achieve results in a midly competitive environment.
If you would like to know more about our range of Arty Parties and Corporate Entertainment packages please get in touch.
This is highly condensed footage of the two week summer scool across Lady Lumley’s, Pickering, Malton and Norton Schools in August. Thanks to Andy Berriman for filming, editing and producing the film!
Step Up 7 in Pickering & Malton was a two week summer school for Y6 pupils held in their new secondary schools. Four creative workshops each day made for a fun packed two weeks with 12 Club Creative staff working each day.
In Saltburn artists Derek Mosey and Helen Gaunt created two large mosaics that are now hung in the main entrance and main corridor of the new school to welcome all vistitors. They look amazing. These pics are work in progress.
