Are you an alternative or specialist education setting?

Artsmark is open to primary, secondary and special schools, hospital schools, pupil referral units, secure settings, sixth form colleges and youth offending teams. 

We’ve created additional guidance for alternative and specialist education settings, to help you understand how Artsmark’s flexible framework is relevant and adaptable to your setting. It also outlines the practical steps we’ll take to ensure that we’re sensitive to the unique context and challenges of your setting in our assessment. 

Goldsmiths, our national delivery partner, is here to support you at every step of your Artsmark journey. Find out more.
