Many of our Artsmark schools have closely engaged with the #BeWell survey and this Children’s Mental Health Week, Falinge Park High School tell us how they’ve been using this data to improve wellbeing for their students.

This International Women’s Day, we interview two of our Directors from the Arts Council’s Children and Young People & Learning team; Anne Appelbaum, Director of Children and Young People and Hannah Fouracre, Director of Music Education.  

This National Careers Week meet Emma Thorpe, who’s joined us for her placement with The University of Manchester.

It’s National Careers Week and we’re shining a light on creative careers.

In our second Artsmark in action blog we hear from Alexis Pelling, Artsmark Lead at Cheam High School, a secondary school in Cheam, Surrey.

In our first Artsmark in action blog we hear from Julia Wisbey, Head of Drama and Senior Leader in Personal Development at Admiral Lord Nelson School, a secondary school in Portsmouth.

This week marks Mental Health Awareness Week! We want to celebrate the importance of creativity and how this can help support children and young people’s wellbeing.

Here at Artis, we strongly believe that the arts inspire and motivate children’s creativity, allowing them to find their voice and open up their imagination. As well as giving them a space to explore challenging themes more openly outside of the formal learning environment, the arts help to build young people’s confidence, resilience and self-esteem.
