Choose your approach

‘Arts Award clearly enhanced students’ self-confidence, communication, team-work and responsibility’
Olivia Douse, Vice Principal, St Mark's Church of England Academy

Schools achieve great results with a range of approaches, from whole year group delivery to extra-curricular projects. Arts Award can also support community links.

The award framework links well with key stages 2-5, offering opportunities for progression through Discover, Explore, Bronze, Silver and Gold, or for students to start at the level most suited to them.

See our Higher Education page for ways Arts Award can support students' continuing education.
