Arts Award

Arts Award is all about supporting young people to deepen their engagement with the arts. It’s a great way to nurture and celebrate enthusiasm and skill at the lower levels and talent and leadership at the higher levels.

 

 

 

NEW (Arts Award Discover) Homework Package – How does this make us feel?

Piloted with local teachers, this free creative home learning project is perfect for those developing PSHE in line with the new Relationships and Health Education framework, especially as schools re-open. “How does this make us feel” helps students to:

  • think about how they express themselves culturally and creatively
  • reflect on their emotions
  • recognise the value of time spent with family and friends
  • understand the role that creative hobbies and interests can play in self care

 

Using “How does this make us feel” is easy. We provide downloadable booklets, online support materials and, during the pandemic, we even cover the cost of students’ certificates. Below is an exemplar booklet and a more detailed description of the Homework Package.

For more information on our Homework Package or to use it with your students, please contact tracy.linsley@stockton.gov.uk.

 

You can share this "How to" video with students and their parents.

Arts Award Discover - Captain Cook Birthplace Museum

"Arts Award as part of the museum learning offer has proven particularly popular with teachers over the last few years. Some are surprised that coming to a museum can be part of an Arts Award journey - but most of our museums hold artworks of some kind and art is a great way to engage and inspire children of all ages and abilities to learn more about history." Jenny Phillips, Learning Officer
