Creativity Takes Courage

Mrs Bott and Miss Stell have both completed the required training to become recognised Arts Award advisers at the Discover and Explore levels. We hope to begin offering these awards in the Autumn term to students in the Junior School in the first instance with the plan to role out to the girls in the senior school at the higher levels once we become an established centre.  

Arts Award Discover is an introductory award, designed for ages 5 and above, but is open to children and young people aged 25 and under.  

To achieve an Arts Award Discover, children and young people collect evidence in an individual arts log of their experiences of: 

  • Participating in arts activities 

  • Researching artists and their work 

  • Sharing their arts discoveries 

Arts Award Explore is an Entry Level (Entry 3) qualification on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) and is designed for ages 7 and above, but is open to children and young people aged 25 and under. 

To achieve an Arts Award Explore, children and young people collect evidence in an individual arts log of their experiences of: 

  • Active participation in a range of arts activities, including a personal response about what they have learnt from taking part 

  • Experience of arts organisations, artists and their work
