This enables us to deliver Arts Award to our students to grow their creativity and skills & achieve Bronze, Silver or Gold qualifications.
It can optimise their CV and employability skills.
This could impact young people to deliver positive outcomes such as: entering higher education, paid work, confidence to self-direct artistic projects or set up their own theatre companies.
