Abstract

The SHAPE in Schools pilot project was established to complement and support the work being undertaken by the British Academy and London School of Economics to promote social sciences, humanities and arts subjects through the establishment of the SHAPE acronym. SHAPE stands for ‘Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts for People and the Economy/Environment’ and lobbies for better visibility, understanding and connectivity associated with the subjects, disciplines and skills which can be broadly categorised within those subject areas. In this way, SHAPE sits as complementary to STEM. Phase 1 of the project took place from November 2020 to July 2021 and aimed to explore suitable messages around SHAPE which would inspire and enthuse a secondary school audience across the four UK nations. There was clear appetite and interest expressed from within and beyond education during this period and the results of the Phase 1 evaluation evidenced the positive impact of the initiative across its partner schools. Phase 2 has built on the methodologies and approach of the first phase but has offered a more flexible and devolved approach to working with schools. This was partly in response to the recommendations made in Phase 1. The following evaluation will explore the outcomes from the second phase of the project which took place from November 2021 to May 2022 and will conclude with recommendations relating to a potential next phase of SHAPE in Schools.
