STITCHING TOGETHER AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE BARRIERS AND FACILITATORS TO TEXTILES EDUCATION IN UK PRIMARY SCHOOLS

This research was commissioned and produced by Textiles Skills Centre with a grant from ALL SAINTS EDUCATIONAL TRUST.

The survey and report were designed, collated, and written by Roy Ballam and Lynne Mason.

The research examines the current state of textiles education in UK primary schools, gathering feedback from 166 participating teachers. Insights span demographics, teaching roles, capabilities, resources, and barriers to delivering effective textiles lessons.

Using the recommendations from this research, the Textiles Skills Centre will develop resources and CPD training for Primary teachers in the UK.
