Artsmark

What is it?

Arts Council England's Artsmark is a national award which recognises and rewards schools that have made a strong commitment to the full range of the arts. The award promotes and spreads good practice on how to provide the arts in education, gives young people more opportunities to access the arts and encourages schools, arts organisations and artists to work together.
