Find your way to Artsmark . . . your journey starts here!

Artsmark is a national award scheme managed by Arts Council England which celebrates schools’ commitment to the arts. It provides a benchmark for arts
provision in schools and encourages them to assess the opportunities available to children and young people in dance, drama, music, art and design.

Round 10 results have been announced. See their website www.artsmark.org.uk

Over the last nine years, local authorities and regional education agencies have played an essential role in the scheme development and achievements so thank you for your support.

 Artsmad is pleased to provide support to schools applying for an Artsmark Award and to those already holding the award.

If you're applying for Artsmark we can help you through:

• Artsmark Information Events
• Advice and support
• One to one surgeries
• Celebration event

We also work closely with Gloss Arts Education Agency (Gloucestershire), the Creative Learning Agency (Bath, Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset) and colleagues in Wiltshire to provide this support. 

If you are a member of staff at an Artsmark school, or if your school is thinking of applying for the award, please get in touch. We're available throughout the year (including school holiday times) on 01793 705400 or by email at dhines@swindon.gov.uk We're always pleased to visit your school and meet staff in person.

Those already on their way ...

We are looking at ways in which we can support existing Artsmark schools. We want to know from you, the best ways we can support your school and develop your expertise and we can only do this with your feedback and comments.
