What evidence is there that a creative curriculum assists achievement in other areas?
The Head Teacher of Lister School described two essential benefits that the project provided for the students and for the school. The students gained immensely from taking part in the performance and making the recordings. “We were very proud of their performance, in public, in front of their friends and families and teachers. They were professional in the proper sense. There was a significant improvement from the last Lister Live a year ago. Taking part this year helped students to be more appreciative as listeners as well as performers. They came to understand what learning is and the challenges it involves, and to understand the learning journey that others had gone on as well as themselves. From a developmental point of view, it was very good. They have become better people as well as better musicians.” Curriculum Enhancement YMAZ Project by Tom Deveson What is the impact of a creative curriculum on a) pupil confidence, motivation, behaviour and team work, and b) literacy, numeracy
