ARTSMARK ‘GOLD’ AWARD

We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve been awarded our Artsmark ‘GOLD’ Award in recognition of our fantastic arts provision.

Feedback from Artsmark stated that
‘There is a clear commitment to progressing arts and culture which is supported by a strategic plan to ensure all pupils access the arts and culture offer as they go through school. There are planned arts focused school trips with the anticipation that every child will have experienced a visit to an Art Gallery, watched and listened to a live orchestra and seen a professional drama production. Children enjoy the arts and culture offer through timetabled teaching and extra-curricular clubs and they have many opportunities to perform and showcase their work in the local community. The curriculum has been revised to ensure meaningful connections are made between the arts and other areas of learning. ….. ‘end point’ assessments provide children further opportunities to draw on their prior learning and to prepare them for their next steps.”
