Support your students to become creative, confident arts practitioners

This guide is for teachers who are interested in increasing the visibility of the creative arts within their school. It outlines what’s involved in running Gold Arts Award - a way to boost the profile of your subject and help to grow your department.  

The Essential Guide explains why you should be offering Gold Arts Award to Key Stages 4 and 5 students, and gives examples of how teachers are already using Gold to enrich their creative arts offering.

  • Prioritise access to the arts beyond Key Stage 3, and create the opportunity to strengthen your enrichment programme
  • Teachers enjoy a professionally rewarding experience by supporting young people’s journey through Gold - and valuable CPD as you train to run the award.

This guide details:

  • Snapshots of how you can further develop your subject’s offer and grow your department at the same time
