raising academic standards through volunteering

Veränderung der schulischen Leistungen und Perspektiven

Commonly, the senior managers interviewed in the schools and colleges visited asserted that dedicating curriculum time to volunteering helped raise academic standards. One college presented an analysis of data for some of the students who volunteered, indicating that they enjoyed better success rates than those who did not engage in volunteering. Other colleges cited improved retention and attendance rates.

Evaluierung der Aktivität

During the period from April to July 2011, inspectors visited six secondary schools and seven colleges with extensive volunteering activity taking place. They also visited six youth organisations located within the voluntary and charitable sector, and met with two national youth charities. The youth organisations visited targeted their work primarily on vulnerable young people. The Learner Panel provided further supporting evidence. Ofsted also received online feedback from 328 members of its children’s and young people’s panel. In addition three learner focus groups were conducted.
