This year I'll be working as a trainer for schools in the North West applying to the new Artsmark scheme. Arts Council England have selected and trained a group of arts education specialists across the country to offer training to teachers, to help them with applications for the revised Artsmark scheme.
This training is authorised and endorsed by them, and is relevant to primary and secondary schools applying at Artsmark or Artsmark gold level* including all schools regardless of whether or not they have applied for or received the award before.
(*Artsmark Silver does not exist within the new scheme).

Save the date:
Merseyside: Monday 17th October at the Bluecoat Centre, Liverpool
Pennine Lancs: Tuesday 1st November at Burnley Youth Theatre, Lancs

NB This will be the only Arts Council England authorised Artsmark training in these areas. 
Booking details will be announced shortly but do save the date now. Please contact me if you wish to reserve your place so you can begin arranging cover. Training will be at a fee of £80 / teacher for a full day including lunch, introduction to the arts education work of the host venue, and individually tailored support for your application. Full terms and conditions will be available online soon. 

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.
