As we begin delivering our new ten-year strategy, Let’s Create, our Children and Young People team are working hard to ensure that all youth engagement projects play a key role in helping us achieve our vision.

In our second Artsmark in action blog we hear from Alexis Pelling, Artsmark Lead at Cheam High School, a secondary school in Cheam, Surrey.

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.

Race Leys Junior School's environment is very bespoke, with each communal area focusing on a classic children's book such as Harry Potter, or JM Barry's Peter Pan. Find out how they redesigned the school environment to improve a love of reading for pupils. 

Artsmark school, Admiral Lord Nelson School (ALNS) in Portsmouth, were named Creative School of the Year at the 2019 TES Awards.

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.

To celebrate #WorldBookDay we’ve spoken to three recently awarded Artsmark schools to find out how they infuse their English curriculum with creativity.
