Does Creativity help improve standards

1

• Does Creativity help improve standards?
• Evaluations have been really positive across the
  board, but does it make a difference to standards
  in school?
• Will our SATs results suffer? You be the judge!
• The following charts are the Key Stage 2 SATs for
  the last 2 years. Our tracking procedures have
  shown that these two years groups were comparable
  in ability through their time at Galliard, and
  arrived in year 6 with very similar levels.

• K.S. 2 SATS 2004 Level 4
• (2003 in brackets)
• Maths 80 (73)
• English 85 (80)
• Science 93 (88)

• K. S. 2 SATS 2004 Level 5
• (2003 in brackets)
• Maths 28 (18)
• English 24 (16)
• Science 47 (41)

• Key stage 1 SATS results are equally as pleasing.

• At the end of the project, each year group
  presented their work on our Creativity Inset
  Day. Cameras, Videos, DVDs, Tapes and interactive
  white boards were used, and the Staffs knowledge
  in the use of Technology in their teaching and
  presenting is one of the strong benefits of this
  project.

• On the Inset Day the staff did their own
  creativity projects the results of which are on
  display in school alongside the childrens work.
• As a reward, the staff also had a session of
  African drumming which was a fantastic success.
• Above all, we had FUN!
