Many of our Artsmark schools have closely engaged with the #BeWell survey and this Children’s Mental Health Week, Falinge Park High School tell us how they’ve been using this data to improve wellbeing for their students.

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. 

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

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.

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.

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

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.
