Carlton Bolling is aiming for the prestigious Artsmark Award

Pupils and staff at Carlton Bolling School have embarked on an exciting journey to gain the prestigious Artsmark Award, in a momentous year for the programme as it celebrates 20 years of arts, culture and creativity in schools. The Artsmark Award is the only creative quality standard for schools, 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 every young person can be creative and access a diverse, high-quality cultural education.

In order to become an awarded Artsmark school, Carlton Bolling is developing their arts and cultural provision to ensure they have a broad, balanced 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, Carlton Bolling 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, Carlton Bolling will gain access to resources and networking opportunities with diverse cultural organisations and creative practitioners to inspire and strengthen their development plans.

On striving for their Artsmark award, Carlton Bolling’s vision is “To raise the profile of the Arts (in line with the SIP) to ensure every young person has access to high quality Arts teaching and experiences. Furthermore, to embed the Arts into the culture and ethos of Carlton Bolling School and the local and wider community.”
