Artsmark Development Training - Summer Term 2022

Artsmark Development Training is an essential part of the new Artsmark process. During this training you will begin to explore how you can plan to use arts and culture to meet your whole-school priorities, with the support of our Artsmark experts.

This session is for schools that have registered with Artsmark only. If your school has not already signed up to the Artsmark Award you are not eligible to attend, however you can find out more on our Artsmark page.

Artsmark Development Training must be attended by 2 members of staff, the Artsmark lead and a senior member of staff (even if the Artsmark lead is also a senior member of staff). Attendance is an essential part of the new process. During this training you will find out more about the Artsmark process and begin to explore how you can plan to use arts and culture to meet your whole school priorities, with the support of our Artsmark experts.
