Education Secretary Michael Gove said: No education can be complete without the arts and creativity playing a central role in a child’s life. Successful schools put culture at the heart of their curriculum. I want all schools to be able to emulate, indeed surpass, those which are currently outstanding.

They believed that humans are genetically disposed to creativity. Leaving scientific evidence aside, most of us would accept that young children typically display more of the qualities that are associated with creativity than adults. Howard Gardner believes each child, by the age of 7, has developed a capital of creativity upon which they subsequently draw throughout their adult lives, although this well of creativity can be topped up throughout life.
