Caerphilly Chronicles is a Lead Creative Schools Project by a class of Year 7 learners from St. Cenydd Community School in Caerphilly, South Wales. The project was devised and created by Creative Practitioners Tracey Moberly, Sara Sylvester and Head of Geography Nicola Webber working with the Arts Council of Wales. Georgina Clarke (English) and Stacey Lloyd Davies (R.E.) also participated in this project.

The select group of learners explored medieval settlements, studied Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, stories from the Mabinogion and other fables. From this they created their own poetry, constructed mythical creatures and chronicled individual stories based on their environs, focusing on the landmark Caerphilly Castle at the heart of their town and community. The project culminated in a pilgrimage with an offering of daffodils to Caerphilly Castle, which was documented on film and photography by the learners and creative practitioners.
