Support for teaching professionals in the classroom and beyondCreative subjects reduce GCSE stress
14th June 2016
I spotted a short article in today's Times, which reported on the findings from a large-scale UK study on the subject choices of GCSE students and the possible link to stress. The survey concluded that studying at least 1 creative subject at GCSE (e.g. art, drama, music, design) acts as a "pressure valve" for students, in addition to helping develop wider skills such as resilience, independence, self-confidence and collaboration.
