Sixteen creative schools in Lambeth have scooped a prestigious national award for excellence in art, drama, music and dance lessons. The latest round of Artsmark Awards, awarded by national arts organisation the Arts Council, puts Lambeth among the best in the country. While approximately 15 per cent of all schools in England have an Artsmark, just under half of all Lambeth’s schools now have them. This year, Artsmark Gold awards have gone to 11 Lambeth Primary Schools, Artsmark Silver to four, and an Artsmark to one - the best results the borough has ever achieved.
One of the best performing schools was St Andrews CoE primary, which is in Larkhall ward. They were awarded an Artsmark Gold.
Artsmark provides a benchmark for arts provision that encourages schools to consider the opportunities they offer in art, dance, drama and music. The application form for Artsmark acts as an auditing tool, through which schools may gain an overall picture of their arts education provision.
Cllr Tina Valcarcel, one of the Labour councillors for Larkhall ward, said: "Congratulations to staff and pupils at St Andrews. Our Artsmark record puts us among the best, not only in London, but across the whole country. So many Lambeth schools have proven their commitment to developing free-thinking, creative young people."
