This section includes a range of case studies that illustrate how schools have developed their work in the arts to:

• improve pupils' attainment in arts subjects
• contribute to wider educational outcomes (school improvement).

The case studies show that arts initiatives can make a significant contribution to school aims and development plans. In every example, developing the arts as part of their overall vision has helped schools to achieve their targets.
