Creative engagement for young people in Leeds

The maps below are beginning to paint a picture of the areas where young people are best served - or underserved - in terms of opportunities for creative engagement. We are beginning to answer questions such as - where is there a greater proportion of young people across the city? Where are the creative practitioners based, and where are the schools with the best offering for creative education? Explore the data below.

Creative Subject Entries

The data below explores the number of students who enter for creative subjects at GCSE and A Level. We want to understand how these trends change over time at a national level and how the attitudes of young people in Leeds compare with the national picture.

National GCSE Subject Entries

The number of young people opting for arts and creative subjects at GCSE level has plateaued, and began to decline in the last two years relative to other subjects such as Business Studies.

National A Level Subject Entries

The number of young people opting for arts and creative subjects at A level has stayed roughly the same.
