Their future plans include a podcast studio to boost writing skills and pupil voice

Peterhouse School in Southport is a non-maintained specialist school for pupils aged 5 to 19 on the Autism Spectrum. They currently hold an Artsmark Gold award and are on their third Artsmark journey. By placing the arts at the heart of their provision, they’ve seen young people’s confidence transform.

Weaverham’s student-led podcast not only transformed engagement in the arts, but also changed the community’s perception of arts, culture and creativity.

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.
