Christ the King Catholic Primary School aiming for prestigious Artsmark Award
Pupils and staff at Christ the King have embarked on an exciting journey to gain a prestigious Artsmark Award.
The Artsmark Award is the only creative quality standard for schools and education settings, accredited by Arts Council England. It supports schools to develop and celebrate arts and cultural education, putting creativity and wellbeing at the heart of the curriculum. Artsmark ensures that every young person can be creative and access a diverse, high-quality cultural education.
To become an awarded Artsmark school, Christ the King is developing their arts and cultural provision to ensure they have a broad and ambitious curriculum for its pupils. They will achieve this by creating an overall plan demonstrating their commitment to cultural education that will be delivered across the whole school.
Through Artsmark, Christ the King will embed arts, culture and creativity to support its pupils’ learning, health and wellbeing, helping them to build resilience, confidence and character. By joining the Artsmark community, Christ the King will receive training and support from Artsmark’s national delivery partner, Goldsmiths, University of London, and connect with a vast network of creative schools, cultural organisations and practitioners committed to developing inspiring opportunities for children and young people.
