About.
SHAPES is driven by a commitment to creative learning and helping organisations connect meaningfully with schools – making a real difference for teachers and young people from all backgrounds.
The story
SHAPES is led by me, Jenny — a former teacher, Head of English and children’s publishing professional with over a decade of experience in education and creative industries. I work alongside a talented team of teachers and writers, bringing diverse expertise to every project.
Over eight years, we’ve teamed up with creative organisations — from publishers to galleries, museums to festivals — turning creative ideas into school-ready projects that teachers and kids love.
Driven by purpose
Our work is shaped by a commitment to delivering creative education for children, widening access to arts and culture for young people from all backgrounds. Drawing on classroom experience, we understand the challenges schools face and craft resources that are practical, inclusive, and engaging.
SHAPES supports organisations who care about learning, impact and creating work that teachers love and children enjoy.
“SHAPES are creative, thoughtful, considered and incredibly helpful. Their ideas have been fresh and engaging and have been welcomed by so many visitors at our attractions.”
