Q&A with Hayden Taylor, governor of 2019's Creative School of the Year
Artsmark school, Admiral Lord Nelson School (ALNS) in Portsmouth, were named Creative School of the Year at the 2019 TES Awards.
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.
