The Out of School Hours Web Resource - This programme took place in 12 Leeds and Manchester schools. The schools used the programme to combat dissatisfaction, truancy and underachievement, and to retain gifted and talented pupils.
Each school chose their own emphasis and way of working, identifying target groups according to local needs and the school’s development plan. They each worked with creative professionals who brought both their practical experience and the particular standards of their profession into the school.
Many of the projects gave young people leadership challenges, older children introducing younger children to skills such as music, dance and radio production.
During the three years of the Out of School Hours Programme CapeUK worked with 3,322 young people, over one hundred teachers and advisors, and 90 creative professionals.
