Researching the Arts in Primary Schools was a research commission conducted between 2021–2023, led by Professor Pat Thomson at the University of Nottingham, investigating the teaching of creativity in primary schools.

The commission mapped the current provision of arts subjects at primary level, working in partnership with over 40 primary schools to discuss arts learning with pupils, teachers, and parents/carers. In addition, the team worked with initial teacher training courses, as well as with trainee and current teachers, to explore how primary teachers can better be supported to teach arts.

Throughout the commission, the research team shared regular updates on a dedicated blog and the project's YouTube channel.
