Impact of Artsmark on schools in England
"The Artsmark award scheme encourages schools to increase the range of arts they provide and to raise the profile of arts education throughout England. Since the first awards were made in January 2001, Arts Council England has received over 4,000 Artsmark applications from schools throughout the country. Thirteen per cent of all schools in England currently hold an Artsmark award."

"Artsmark provides a benchmark for arts opportunities in schools; to receive an award schools must ensure that young people have a wide range of experiences in art, dance, drama and music. These include access to regularly timetabled curriculum hours, out of hours opportunities and the chance to work with professional artists and arts organisations. Gaining an Artsmark shows that a school has adopted a broad and balanced curriculum and is committed to providing a well-rounded education for its pupils. It demonstrates that a school values the development of young people as individuals and that it provides continuing professional development in the arts for teachers.
Applying for an Artsmark award encourages teachers, governors and the wider school community to come together and undertake a detailed audit of arts provision. Schools awarded an Artsmark have invested time in determining their strengths in the arts and identifying areas for future development. At a time when self-evaluation is increasingly important to schools, the Artsmark award provides a comprehensive framework assisting them to appraise their commitment to the arts."
