ArtsMark Silver Award

We are incredibly proud to announce that Mill Green School has been awarded prestigious Silver Artsmark Award!

Artsmark is the only creative quality standard for schools, accredited by Arts Council England. It transforms teaching through creativity, empowering teachers with the skills they need to embed arts, culture and creativity across the whole curriculum, and is proven to support pupil outcomes and wellbeing.

To achieve their Artsmark Award, Vic Tarpey and Lee Miller, our Arts Leads have worked to develop our arts and cultural provision over the past two years, embedding a broad and ambitious curriculum which has been planned and delivered across the whole school.

Throughout our journey, the team have received professional support through an immersive learning programme from Artsmark’s delivery partner, Goldsmiths, University of London, who are world-renowned leaders in creative pedagogy and cultural placemaking.

Dr Darren Henley OBE, Chief Executive of Arts Council England, said:

“I would like to congratulate Mill Green School on their Artsmark Award. Creative activities and cultural experiences enrich our lives, open our minds to new possibilities and help us make sense of the world around us. As an awarded Artsmark school, you’re demonstrating that by offering a broad, ambitious and creative curriculum, your young people will develop character and resilience, increasing their knowledge, curiosity and skills that will remain with them through to adult life.”
