An attitude-changing performance

How did the school collect evidence?

The school collected evidence of the project's impact by:

• looking at school data -- performance data, attendance records, evidence from pupil record files;
• talking with pupils before and after the performance;
• consulting a log kept by staff;
• assessing pupils' performances in line with national curriculum levels;
• asking staff and pupils for written comments;
• recording rehearsals and performances on CD and video;
• looking at key stage 2 results and key stage 3 attainment data across the curriculum;
• comparing two year 8 groups who were given the same teaching scheme in music and drama, but didn't both take part in the final performance.
