Blog

In this inspiring blog, one teacher talks us through not only their Artsmark journey to Gold, but the impact its had on her own professional development.

Bedford High in Leigh, north west England, have used Artsmark to transform their own practice within the school and influencing the work of other settings throughout their seven-year Artsmark journey.

Our CEO, Darren Henley has an inspiring message for Artsmark schools as we settle into the new academic year.

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.

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.

As we launch the first Artsmark Celebration Week, Arts Council England's Chief Executive, Darren Henley, blogs about the important role arts and culture has on a young person's development, and has a special message of thanks for our Artsmark schools.
