"On the seventh day God didn't rest. He looked at what he had created and
thought: 'Oh dammit, England's gone all wrong. The sea is washing silt off the
coastlines in the north and depositing them in an ugly bulbous lump near Kent'. Today
we call this unholy place East Anglia."
Jeremy Clarkson

What is Creativity ?
• Creativity involves thinking or behaving imaginatively; • This imaginative activity is purposeful: that is, it is directed to achieving an objective; • These processes must generate something original; (this is explained as being something new to the learner – a new discovery, a new way of thinking to them)• The outcome must be of value in relation to the objective DfES response to Roberts Report (2006) and based on NAACE All our Futures and work by QCA
