Trailblazer Evaluation Report 17/18

Trailblazer is supporting work in SMSC, British Values, and Health and Wellbeing. It
is recognised as a way to raise aspirations (68%), improve behaviour (48%) and to
raise the profile of the school (52%). An increasing number are using Trailblazer as a
way to engage parents, and to support pupil premium students (36%).
“It is starting to help widen the opportunity that students have in our school,
beyond the classroom. It is also helping to develop their cultural enrichment and
engagement with their society. Some students are becoming more confident,
outward facing, resilient and have improved aspirations”
Cultural Champion, Hassenbrook Academy
Furthermore, 69% say that the amount and range of arts provision as well as
the number of pupils taking part, continues to increase (rising to 100% for those
schools newest to the programme). This change is reaching more pupils, in more
schools, each year.
“I am able to offer a cultural/creative opportunity for all year groups
in the school apart from one, with that year group taking part in a sharing
activity after one of the projects. This therefore allows every child
in our school to take part in an increased amount of arts provision”
