What is Artsmark?

The Artsmark Award is the only creative quality standard for schools and education settings, accredited by Arts Council England: aiming to develop and celebrate the schools and settings' commitment to arts and cultural education.

Artsmark is awarded at three levels: Silver, Gold and Platinum. You are measured on the quality of your provision, the pedagogy and the impact it has on young people.

Am I eligible for Artsmark?

Artsmark is open to primary, secondary and specials schools. As well as pupil referral units, youth offending teams and sixth form colleges.

Artsmark is an Arts Council England programme, therefore only settings in England are eligible to register currently.
