The study examined the educational outcomes of Big Noise Raploch when compared to young people in the area who did not take part in Big Noise. It found that almost all Big Noise participants achieved a positive post-school destination (98%) compared with 84% of non-participants of a similar sociodemographic background.
GCPH also found that the young people who attended Big Noise programmes were more likely to be in employment after leaving school than their counterparts, with 42% of Big Noise attendees in employment as opposed to only 30% of non-attendees.
