This collection of case studies outlines some of the ways that arts, culture and creative learning can support the development of pupils’ voice, agency and their potential to lead. The examples include network-wide initiatives and in-school projects with smaller groups where the power to make decisions has been handed over to children and young people. From these projects we can learn that seeing pupils, and those with a special educational need or disability, as stakeholders and leaders in their own right is not only beneficial for them but is a vitally inclusive step to take.
