Our Impact
Education is about much more than what our students learn in the classroom. The soft skills and benefits gained through educational enrichments contribute not only to academic attainment and engagement at school, but also to the longer-term prospects and wellbeing of our young people.
Without formal assessment it is harder to measure the direct impact of these activities on students’ engagement, attainment, progress and wellbeing but it is our strongly-held belief is that all children and young people, including the most disadvantaged, benefit in a myriad of ways from a broad, culturally-rich education.
We have an assessment methodology in place for each of our programmes and collect data on the 1000+ students who participate in our programmes each year:
Student data and attendance to ensure that are programmes are inclusive
Self-evaluation in the form of student feedback surveys and testimonials
Impact reports from teachers on programme outcomes and impact on behaviour, wellbeing, engagement and attainment
