Who Are the Junior Innovators?

Each NEPI school has selected Junior Innovators from across their school. By bringing together learners of different ages and experiences, the Junior Innovators reflect the diversity of our school communities and ensures that every child’s perspective can be heard.

Junior Innovator Event

Lisa Hall and Helen Hunter from Cragside Primary School have visited the NEPI schools to work with their Junior Innovators. As part of the event, pupils reflected on what creativity means and how it shapes their learning. They explored the creative habits through engaging, scenario-based activities and considered their role as a Junior Innovator and the unique qualities they bring. The sessions encouraged children to think deeply about their own creative potential, giving them practical ways to apply these habits in school and beyond. It also focused on encouraging them in their role to be active in promoting creativity in their lessons, discussing it with teachers and with their peers.
