Artsmark Partner 

Mbilla Arts is an Artsmark Partner.

​

Why Artsmark?

​

Artsmark is the only creative quality standard for schools and education settings, accredited by Arts Council England. It provides a clear and flexible framework for teachers and schools leaders to embed creativity across the whole curriculum and address school improvement priorities.

Artsmark helps schools to demonstrate certain elements of the Ofsted framework and Teaching Standards. Completing your Artsmark journey demonstrates a schools' commitment to a broad and balanced curriculum, as well as contributing to fulfilling SMSC requirements.

Artsmark is also a great way to evidence how your school is providing meaningful careers provision, as well as linking directly to many of the Gatsby Benchmarks.

​
