We're back!
After ten successful years and over 10,000 Artsmark awards, we took a gap year to refresh the scheme. Artsmark is happy to be back – with a new online application system and welcoming a wider range of organisations to apply, including further education colleges and youth justice settings.
LONGCOT & FERNHAM CE PRIMARY SCHOOL
As an Artsmark Gold school we pride ourselves in providing first class arts experiences for all of our pupils and as such we are always looking for new ways of doing this. We feel it is vitally important for all children to have a range of high quality arts experiences and encourage them to develop any artistic skills they have no matter what form this may take.

“Artsmark is a great way of encouraging schools to bring the arts to our children! The arts are a marvellous vehicle for bringing children together and exposure to them has been proved to have a beneficial effect not only on their other school subjects but also on their general well-being and feelings of self esteem.”
Pauline Tambling, Managing Director of National Skills Academy for Creative & Cultural.
"Students in Artsmark colleges can be assured that the arts are taken seriously and that links with cultural employers are encouraged within the college."
