Artsmark and Arts Award is a winning formula for success
Delivering Arts Award’s range of qualifications can help schools meet the Artsmark criteria – enabling personalised delivery, facilitating progress, developing leadership skills and offering CPD opportunities for teaching staff.
Over the past few weeks we’ve been sharing resources about the importance of diversity within schools, how to talk to young people about race and racism and showing our support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
In our first Artsmark in action blog we hear from Julia Wisbey, Head of Drama and Senior Leader in Personal Development at Admiral Lord Nelson School, a secondary school in Portsmouth.
Here at Artis, we strongly believe that the arts inspire and motivate children’s creativity, allowing them to find their voice and open up their imagination. As well as giving them a space to explore challenging themes more openly outside of the formal learning environment, the arts help to build young people’s confidence, resilience and self-esteem.
This week marks Mental Health Awareness Week! We want to celebrate the importance of creativity and how this can help support children and young people’s wellbeing.
