Abstract
This article reports on case study research into an extra-curricular activity carried out in a secondary school. It used new technologies and interdisciplinary teaching methods in collaboration with a creative partner to promote creativity. The research aims were informed by issues emerging from government policy in England, recent literature on creativity and the particular school context. Predetermined themes included extra-curricular learning and creativity, synaesthesia, planning, interdisciplinary work, information and communication technology, subject and pastoral perspectives and the role of creative partners working with novices. Emerging themes were the participation theory of learning, and leadership. This case study highlights the importance of distinguishing between knowledge-lean and knowledge-rich creativity in interdisciplinary work, and of achieving clarity about what precisely a creative partner explicitly models when working with novices.
