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.

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.

PLEASE NOTE: This event is only open to schools that have already registered for Artsmark. If your school is yet to register please first do so at this link: www.artsmark.org.uk/registration.

Artsmark schools from small and rural settings from across the North West are invited to attend an Artsmark Peer to Peer Network meeting.

There will be discussion during the session around some of the barriers and challenges that small and rural settings face and ideas of how these can be overcome through the Artsmark journey.

You will hear from existing Artsmark Gold schools from the small and rural community, where you will find out more about their achievements and the impact that the Artsmark has had on their setting.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask their questions and raise any personal challenges they face as a setting within this supportive peer to peer network.
