Blog

In our first Artsmark in action blog we hear from Julia Wisbey, Head of Drama and Senior Leader in Personal Development at Admiral Lord Nelson School, a secondary school in Portsmouth.

Over the past few weeks we’ve been sharing resources about the importance of diversity within schools, how to talk to young people about race and racism and showing our support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

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.

To celebrate #WorldBookDay we’ve spoken to three recently awarded Artsmark schools to find out how they infuse their English curriculum with creativity.

Since the Artsmark Partnership Programme launched last year, more than 650 arts and cultural organisations have signed up, offering a whole range of brilliant cultural opportunities for both young people and their teachers.

This National Careers Week we want to take the opportunity to focus on our blossoming Creative Industries and the range of opportunities available for young people.

As we launch the first Artsmark Celebration Week, Arts Council England's Chief Executive, Darren Henley, blogs about the important role arts and culture has on a young person's development, and has a special message of thanks for our Artsmark schools.

Artsmark Partner, People Express, is a small professional participatory arts organisation based in Swadlincote, Derbyshire.
