Our in-person programme is in and around London, Greater Manchester, West and South Yorkshire and Birmingham. Our new online space will soon be accessible everywhere. We can also offer arts weeks, project days and CPD anywhere in the UK.

The benefits our schools have highlighted include:

• a fully integrated creative curriculum that fuses music, drama and movement
• planning and preparation linked to schools’ priorities
• an opportunity for class teachers to develop their own cross-curricular skills
• ongoing learning with highly trained professional performing arts specialists
• a creative, active and fun delivery that is also structured, progressive and inclusive.

• weekly performing arts provision throughout the school year with a specialist matched to the individual needs of your school
• planning in partnership with your school to enrich your curriculum
• ongoing training, mentoring and support of your creative specialist
• performance opportunities for children
• annual class reports and individual lesson plans
• option to extend weekly provision to after-school clubs and workshops.

Artis impacts all areas in the curriculum: literacy through drama, numeracy through music and rhythm and PE through movement and dance. These are just a few examples because our thematic work, linked to the national curriculum, will also have an impact on how children study geography, history and science.

Everything we do is carefully designed to fit your needs and priorities to ensure it is right for your school. What we do in one school may be very different to what we do in another; therefore it is difficult to answer this question before we have an initial meeting with you.

Please contact us to arrange a meeting. There’s no obligation, we just need to know more before we can talk about numbers.

In addition, there are opportunities for match-funding for schools with elevated needs. If you want to find out more, please email our Partnerships Manager to express your school’s interest.

Yes. Many of our schools have achieved Artsmark after engaging Artis. All our sessions count towards the number of hours dedicated to the arts, while all our planning provides the evidence needed for music, drama and dance activities taking place in the school.

We are also an Arts Award Centre and have an in-house Arts Award Adviser who can support Discover and Explore at your school.

It is our priority to ensure consistent and high quality performing arts delivery in all of our schools.

All creative specialists have been through a rigorous recruitment process and we provide them with an ongoing training programme.

Specialists are assigned a personal mentor for additional support and observations; they speak to their mentor weekly and receive detailed feedback after each termly observation. Mentors keep in touch with Artis so we are always informed of the progress our specialists are making in our schools.

We hold written references and carry out enhanced DBS checks for all specialists.

Artis believes in progressive, ongoing performing arts provision where children can build on their skills and gain in confidence week on week. However, you can get a taste of Artis  through our short-burst projects.

If you would like to discuss your school’s particular requirements, contact us.

Yes. We have programmes that can be delivered out of the school terms, but we are unable to provide pastoral care. Contact us to find out more.
