CEC schools engagement in Creative Lives activity
The following slides look at the levels of engagement by dierent CEC schools
The measure used is cases which ranges from a single session activity to a full term project for the whole school
In addition to the core Creative Lives data, we have collected data on attendance at events . All schools in the banding with the lowest number of cases all attended events
The ranking is made only using core data from the 30 Creative Lives participants 13.14. The schools may have been engaging with other arts organisations, commercial arts organisations, freelance artists and using independent resources of the school
Some of the schools in the segment with the lowest number of cases had very high levels of the school roll participating
