Roman Road Primary School

Artsmark provides a benchmark for arts provision and encourages schools to consider the opportunities they offer in art, dance, drama and music. Artsmark Silver is the middle level of achievement a school can attain by completing all compulsory sections of the application form and the optional requirements for Silver. Each application goes through a rigorous five-step assessment process to ensure that the criteria for Artsmark have been met.

Schools evaluate provision against the benchmark to identify any areas for development and to highlight the school’s strengths in the arts.

Gaining an Artsmark at any level shows that our school is committed to the wider development of young people. The scheme increases the status of the work of teachers within school and increases awareness of continuing professional development opportunities in the arts for all teachers.

By offering public recognition of commitment to the arts by the school and its teachers, Artsmark raises the profile of the school and its arts provision in the local community. Mrs Barnes and Mrs Inkster who worked towards our achieving this award, will be attending a celebration and presentation in July, accompanied by two children from the school. We are extrememly proud of our acheivements in recognition of the hard work produced by the children and the staff.

Well done Roman Road!
