How Artsmark works in secondary schools
Over 600 secondary schools and sixth forms in England engage with Artsmark. Artsmark is a fantastic way to embed arts, culture and creativity across different subject areas, and provide routes into creative and cultural careers for many learners. Check out our Artsmark Careers and Employability toolkit for creative career guidance.
The arts are also a way to develop valuable life skills, support student well-being and enhance learner engagement. Artsmark supports staff development, raises the status of arts subjects in school and supports an ethos that values creativity, collaboration and expression. It’s also a great way to engage with the wider community, tap into cultural opportunities on your doorstep and enrich student learning through amazing partnerships and collaborations.
