Arts Award inspires young people to grow their arts and leadership talents: it’s creative, valuable and accessible. Arts Award can be achieved at five levels, four accredited qualifications and an introductory award.

This course is for adults who want to become Arts Award advisers at Bronze & Silver level, supporting children and young people while they are working towards their award.

SEND schools across the North West are invited to attend an Artsmark Peer to Peer Network meeting, with a particular focus on the delivery of creative education within SEND settings.

Led by Peterhouse School’s Artsmark leads – Shena Edwards and Lesley Flemming, this session will focus on how schools can use the Arts to motivate young people with autism – allowing them to develop skills to equip and enable them for adult life. Attendees will also have the opportunity to find out how Arts Award can be used as a framework for arts based teaching and will be provided examples of students work for Discover, Bronze and Explore awards. Please note: Artsmark and Arts Award are two separate programmes, however the Arts Award can enrich a school’s Artsmark journey:

Every child deserves to experience the arts and Artsmark Award recognises the great art and cultural opportunities your school offers to children and young people and help you embed the arts into strategic planning.

Schools that register for Artsmark should attend a CPD Development Day, exploring the wider purpose of Artsmark and process of achieving the award. Each school should send two teachers, including a member of the SLT or the head teacher. By the end of the day you will have a much clearer idea of how Artsmark works and have made a strong start in writing your Statement of Commitment.
