Impact on pupils

In February 2006, the National Foundation completed a study of 13,000 young people who had participated in Creative Partnerships activities. The study showed that the programme had a significant impact on the aspirations and achievements of young people. Young people who have participated in Creative Partnerships activities are shown to outperform those who have not from the same schools at every stage in their school development by a statistically significant margin.

These findings are strongly supported by an independent survey of head teachers conducted by the BMRB and completed in April 2006. This shows that:

92% have seen an improvement in pupils' confidence
91% have seen an improvement in pupils' communication skills
87% have seen an improvement in pupils' motivation

Secondary schools have reported that:

80% have seen an improvement in pupils' enjoyment of school
78% have seen an increase in pupils' ability to learn independently
70% have seen an improvement in pupils' behaviour
