This National Poetry Day, Art Coordinator Sharon Palfreyman from Corrie Primary School, talks to us about how two inspiring arts and poetry projects helped them achieve Artsmark Gold

Year 6 pupils, Kyle and Cadey from Senacre Wood Primary School's Arts Council, close Artsmark Celebration Week by telling us what they got up to and share their Artsmark journey with us.

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.

Horfield Primary School would like to invite you all in joining them to celebrate World Oceans Day.

Lucy Palmer-Rimmer, Arts Council England’s Communications Officer for the North, visited Oakhill Primary School, observing how Artsmark keeps history alive for children in the Potteries ​There’s nothing unique to Oakhill Primary school on the outside.

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.

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.
