Arts Council England is committed to great art for everyone and we believe that if children are creatively inspired at an early age, they are more likely to have a lifelong engagement with the arts. Artsmark sets the standard for outstanding arts in schools and this Gold Artsmark Award recognises passion for the arts and belief in the power of creativity.

The National Healthy Schools Programme is an exciting long-term initiative which is making a significant difference to the health and achievement of children and young people. The National Healthy Schools Programme supports the links between health, behaviour and achievement; it is about creating healthy and happy children and young people, who do better in learning and in life.

The annual Activemark awards recognise delivery of the National PE and Sport Strategy. Schools are assessed through the National School Sport Survey, and receive the mark if at least 90% of pupils across the school were doing at least 2 hours of high quality PE and school sport a week during the year.
