Take part in Arts Award with us
Young people can use our classes, projects, performances and youth dance platforms to help them gain Arts Award.
Arts Award is a national qualification which supports young people to develop as artists and arts leaders.
Through Arts Award young people aged 7-25 are encouraged to enjoy the arts, develop creative and leadership skills, and achieve a nationally recognised qualification.
Doing an Arts Award develops creative and communication skills, and the ability to lead projects. An Arts Award is useful when looking for further education and job opportunities - in the arts and other fields.
Arts Award assesses how young people develop in their chosen arts activities rather than in the achievement of a pre-determined skill level. The Award has two strands - arts practice and arts leadership.
Young people gather evidence of their creative and skills development which they present as a portfolio in any format.
Young people can work towards Arts Award within, outside and beyond school or college.
Gold, Silver, Bronze
Bronze Arts Award is for ages 11 and upwards but is open to anyone aged up to 25.
