Abstract
Birmingham Arts School (BAS) was funded in the first three years by Arts Connect
and the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation. It aimed to enable access to the arts for all
young people in Birmingham and to facilitate a joined-up cultural offer across
the city.
Birmingham City University (BCU) was commissioned to provide timely, actionable
data and intelligence to inform the impact, delivery, and sustainability of BAS. This
report commences with a summary of BAS as originally conceived in its funding
application, before delving into its impact on arts provision in the city. The data
presented in this report primarily centre on the findings from year three, while also
drawing upon evidence gathered in years one and two. This approach enables us to
comprehensively analyse the growth and development of BAS over the
three-year period.
