What is Artsmark?

What is Artsmark?

Artsmark is open to primary, secondary and special schools, as well as hospital schools, pupil referral units, youth offending teams, virtual schools and sixth form colleges in England. 

Why Artsmark? 

  • over 20 years’ experience transforming schools through arts and culture
  • proven to support pupil outcomes and wellbeing, teacher recruitment, retention and confidence, and whole school improvement
  • inspiring nearly two million pupils across 4,000 schools every year
