Pupils and staff at South Bromsgrove High are celebrating after receiving a prestigious Artsmark Award. Artsmark is Arts Council England’s award for schools that champion the arts and strive for excellence. It celebrates schools that embrace the arts across the curriculum, bringing them to life for children and young people.
In order to become an Artsmark school, South Bromsgrove High had to develop their arts and culture provision to achieve a road and balanced curriculum. This was achieved by creating an overall plan that was committed to and delivered across the whole school.
South Bromsgrove High was supported by Arts Connect in planning and developing their initial objectives. Arts Connect worked alongside the school at various stages to support their Artsmark Award achievement.
