First of all, I would like to wish all of you a happy New Year. I hope you had restful, well-deserved break and have been able to start the new year recharged. As the school year continues, I hope that the term is progressing well and your students are able to be engaged and enthused in art, design, and creative media.

Things are very busy I am sure, and we continue to use your feedback to improve support and resources for planning, delivery, and assessment of our qualifications. If you need any help with any of our Art, Design and Media qualifications, please make sure you reach out to me and the team using the contact details below.

  Helpful Resources and Inspiration

Importance of the Arts in Education

The importance of the arts in education and the value they bring to young people is at the heart of what we do. Designing courses that give students an authentic Art, Design and Media experience is a priority and it is vital that we continue to raise the profile of our subjects in education and beyond. As such, I have included a range of external resources that you may find invaluable to your own promotion of Art, Design and Media.
