Perry Hall Primary School receives prestigious Artsmark Gold Award 

Pupils and staff at Perry Hall Primary School are celebrating after receiving the prestigious Artsmark Gold Award. 

Artsmark is the only creative quality standard for schools, accredited by Arts Council England. It supports them to develop and celebrate arts and cultural education across the whole curriculum, bringing learning to life for children and young people. 

In order to achieve their Artsmark Award, Perry Hall had to develop their arts and culture provision to embed a broad and balanced curriculum. This was achieved by creating an overall plan that was committed to and delivered across the whole school. 

The Artsmark assessor stated that Perry Hall’s commitment to the Arts is to be applauded and clearly benefits from the support of senior leaders. They commended Perry Hall on their strategic approach to developing and delivering the Arts across the school and for a curriculum that is diverse, culturally rich, inspiring and engaging. 

Dr Darren Henley OBE, Chief Executive of the Arts Council, said: 

“I would like to congratulate Perry Hall Primary School on their Artsmark Award. Becoming an Artsmark school demonstrates that through offering a broad, balanced and creative curriculum, young people have the opportunity to develop character and resilience, increasing their knowledge, curiosity and skills that will remain with them through to adult life.”
