Over on the blog, we’ve been looking at highlights of Arts Award’s annual review, including statistics that highlight the inclusivity of the award and diversity of Arts Award achievers. Plus, we find out how to get the most out of Arts Award, relating to the 2019 Ofsted framework.
We also hear from Dr Frances Howard on the reasons for arts education and the contribution Arts Award can make, in the final post in our series highlighting her experiences with disengaged young people.
A new round of the Access Fund opened on Monday 27 January! Centres working on Arts Award projects with young people who face barriers to access and inclusion can apply for a grant of up to £1,500 to help them pilot, develop, or embed their Arts Award work with young people.
