Why Study Arts Award?
Art is taught to inspire, engage and challenge students. Art equips them with skills to create their own masterpieces. We offer a range of qualifications that support our pupils to grow as artists.
The Arts Award qualifications are designed to inspire pupils to grow their arts and leadership talents. Most of all, they aim to support and encourage pupils of all levels and abilities and from all backgrounds and cultures to engage and participate in the arts.
Pupil Voice
“Arts Award is a very therapeutic lesson, it allows you to be creative within fine art, media, film, music and much more. It is fun and enjoyable as it can be messy from making masks, painting canvases, to writing our own rap songs.”
