Thurrock Trailblazer Evaluation 2015/16

Data set and approach
Schools were asked to complete surveys at two key points – at the
beginning of the programme, to identify their expectations and aims, and
then again at the end of the programme, to reflect on the impact that
Trailblazer had. They were also asked to rate different aspects of the
programme design, delivery, quality of outputs and administration.
18 schools wrote a case study, focussing on one key area of change
through Trailblazer. This will form the basis of their Artsmark Case Study
for many. Nine schools shared their learning through a ‘Reflective
Practice’ group.
Interviews were held with the Head Teacher, Cultural Champion and a
group of pupils in ten schools.
