Department for Culture, Media and Sport 4 Taking Part–Statistical Release Introduction

This report Taking Part is a household survey in England, looking at participation in the cultural and sporting sectors. The survey, which is in its eleventh year, was commissioned by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) in partnership with Arts Council England, Historic England (formerly English Heritage), and Sport England. The statistics are used widely by policy officials, academics, practitioners, the private sector and charities to measure participation in the sport and cultural sectors. This release is the annual publication ofchild data and provides detailed analysis of the year from April 2014 to March 2015. The Taking Partchildquestionnaires cover children aged 515 years. The 1115 child survey was added in January 2006, interviewing a randomly selected child in those households containing at least one child aged 1115. In 2008/09, the child survey was broadened to include children aged 510. Interviews for those aged 510 are conducted with the adult respondent by proxy and due to this, the 510 survey is limited to asking about activities undertaken out of school(with the exception of some questions on competitive sport).For 1115 year olds, the questions are asked directly to the child and cover both in and out of school activities. The latest results presented in this report are based on interviews conducted between April 2014 and March 2015. The total sample size for this period was 1,825, comprising of 1,104 510 year olds and 721 1115 year olds. Where observations are made over time, the latest data are typically compared with 2008/09 as this is the first year when both 510 and 1115 year olds were included in the survey. For questions added since 2008/09, the comparison is made with the earliest available full year of data. Statistical significance tests have been run on all estimates at the 95% level. All differences and changes reported are statistically significant at the 95% confidence level unless otherwise stated. This means the probability that any given difference happened by chance is low (1 in 20). Where graphs and charts are presented with error bars, these depict the size of the 95 per cent confidence interval around the estimate. This report provides headline figures on child engagement in culture and participation in sport, including in competitive sport, as well the effect of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games on their motivations to do more sport. Key terms and definitions are provided in Annexes B and C of this release. Anaccompanying spreadsheetto this release is available covering the material presented in this report.

69 per cent of children aged 515 had visited a heritage site in the last 12 months, a similar proportion to 2008/09 when the data were first collected and to 2013/14. 8 per cent of children (aged 515) had visited a heritage site in the last week, a significant increase on the 2008/09 figure (5%).

70 per cent of children aged 515 had visited a library in the last 12 months, a significant decrease on the 2008/09 figure of 75 per cent, and a similar proportion to 2013/14. 20 per cent of 515 year olds had visited a library in the last week which is of a similar proportion to 2008/09.

Department for Culture, Media and Sport 10 Taking Part–Statistical Release Arts The Government, local councils, other public bodies, arts organisations, schools, trusts and foundations, voluntary organisations and individuals and private sector companies fund and run programmes to provide cultural opportunities for children and young people. The Government is making a substantial investment in music education across 20122016 including £246m formusic education hubs. Between 2012 and 2015 the government provided £84m to support young musicians and dancers to attend centres of excellence and £3 million in conjunction with the Arts Council England, for National Youth Music Organisations to support pupils from lower income families to join elite music groups. Almtwo thirds of the Arts Council England’s National Portfolio organisations have a focus on activity thatost contributes directly to achieving engagement with and provision for children and young people. The portfolio includes ten ‘Bridge’ organisations which use their experience and expertise to connect children and young people, schools and communities with arts and culture. Over one in five projects funded annually through the Arts Council's Grants for the Arts programme have a focus on children and young people. For example, the Arts Council fundArts Award, a national qualification that supports young people who want to deepen their engagement with the arts, andArtsmark, a nationally recognised accreditation demonstrating excellence in arts and cultural provision. Other Arts Council funded programmes that encourage young people to engage in the arts include Youth Music Theatre UK, who provide highquality training for talented young performers, musicians, directors, writers, composers, choreographers and theatre technicians; the In Harmony programme, that aims to inspire and transform the lives of children in deprived communities; and National Art and Design Saturday Clubs, which link schoolchildren with tutors and students at universities and colleges, and professional designers, artists and architects. Museums and Galleries The museums and schools programme aims to significantly increase the number of young people visiting regional and national museums in areas where takeup has traditionally been low. Through the Department for Education, 10 regional museum and school partnerships have been awarded a total of £4.8 million funding since the programme's creation in 2012 until 2016.

Data for 1115 years olds relate to activities undertaken both in and out of school. The proportion of children engaging in arts is very high. It is therefore useful to break down participation and attendance by specific activities to further understand engagement. The following analysis looks at individual art forms which lie beneath the headline measures for each age group in turn.
