Gold Artsmark Award

Pupils and staff at Alt Bridge School are celebrating after receiving a prestigious Gold Artsmark Award.

Artsmark is the only creative quality standard for schools, accredited by Arts Council England. It transforms teaching through creativity, empowering teachers with the skills they need to embed arts, culture and creativity across the whole curriculum, and is proven to support pupil outcomes and wellbeing.

To achieve their Artsmark Award, Alt Bridge School had to develop their arts and cultural provision to embed a broad and ambitious curriculum. This was achieved by creating an overall plan that was committed to and delivered across the whole school.

Over two years, Alt Bridge School received professional support through an immersive learning programme from Artsmark’s delivery partner, Goldsmiths, University of London, who are world-renowned leaders in creative pedagogy and cultural placemaking.

“All pupils can access a consistent and diverse range of arts and cultural provision through work with local arts and cultural organisations, in school, and on visits outside the classroom, which leads to newly developed showcasing throughout school.” The Artsmark Assessor commended Alt Bridge School on the 29th November 2024.
