Curious Minds would like to invite schools from across the North West to attend an online briefing session to introduce you to the Arts Council England’s flagship Artsmark Programme.

Artsmark is the creative quality standard for schools, accredited by Arts Council England. It provides a clear framework for teachers to plan, develop and evaluate arts, culture and creativity across the curriculum and beyond.

During the session, you will have the opportunity to find out more about what’s involved in the programme, including the journey schools go on to attain the award. You will hear from experienced and expert speakers about how working towards and gaining Artsmark can benefit your school.

As the local support organisation for Artsmark schools in the North West, you will also find out how Curious Minds can support your school through each stage of the process and the next steps you need to take in order to begin your school’s own arts and cultural journey.
