Why the Arts Award in SEND schools and settings
Access and inclusion are at the heart of the Arts Award, the nationally recognised qualification designed for children and young people with a range of abilities, backgrounds & individual learning requirements. Its student centeredness allows for artforms engaged with to be diverse, for choice to be embedded throughout, for participation to be foregrounded and for evidence to be in a format that works for the young person.
Ruth Clarke designed to help teachers and those working with SEND students to both plan and run the Arts Award (part 1) and to provide inspiration from outside the classroom (part 2) for creative activities with your students.
