We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded the prestigious "Artsmark Gold" by Arts Council England. Artsmark inspires young people to create, experience and participate in extraordinary art and culture. Head of Performing Arts, Mrs Cosgrove, says "Artsmark continues to bring learning to life through arts and culture and we will continue to embed these experiences throughout our curriculum and extra curricular offer. We have a fully inclusive programme of extra curricular planned for September, both within Performing Arts and also Visual Arts. We are excited to welcome our new Year 7's and really hope to encourage and involve lots of new students into our arts family ethos."
