Schools’ Programmes

We believe that everyone is creative and we celebrate the creativity of everyone.

We work with primary and secondary schools across Leicester and Leicestershire to deliver Artsmark and Arts Award.

As an Artsmark Partner Organisation, we support schools to develop and celebrate their commitment to arts and cultural education. We are also an accredited Arts Award centre and deliver all five levels of Arts Award. We provide schools with access to artists and facilitators and bring schools groups to visit our exhibitions and performance programmes and host visits to the University of Leicester.

Nurture Network: Training and Joint Practice Development for Teachers and Artists

Through our Nurture Network, we offer continuing Professional Development platforms to our network of artists and teachers, with talks by leading practitioners every two months. We provide training and Joint Practice Development sessions for staff and key workers in schools, exploring neurodivergent affirmative practice, arts and creativity embedding, and to help them integrate Arts Award and Artsmark into their planning and assessments.
