Artsmark in
specialist settings

Do you work in special education or alternative provision?

Artsmark isn’t just open to primary and secondary schools. Special schools, hospital schools, pupil referral units, virtual schools and youth offending teams can also apply. 

We’ve created additional guidance for these alternative and specialist settings, to help you understand how Artsmark’s flexible framework is relevant and adaptable to your provision. Our guidance also explains the practical steps we’ll take to ensure that we’re sensitive to your unique context when making an assessment. It is important to us that all students benefit from an arts-rich education and we work hard to make sure that Artsmark is inclusive and supportive of all of our specialist settings.
