Aren : Sounds of Science Review. Before the event, we did not know what a surprise we were in for. A representation of the history of science through music? The idea seemed unusual, but we decided to give it a go. I was filled with interest and curiosity as I walked through the doors into the Corn Exchange…read more Aren
Will : The Play That Goes Wrong. On the 10th of December I went with National Youth Arts Theatre, a drama group I am in, to see The Play That Goes Wrong performed at a theatre in the West End….read more here Will
Josh : Ed Sheeran Wembley Stadium. Performing on the 11th July 2015, Ed Sheeran in Wembley was easily the best concert I have been to.

Arts Award is...
Arts Award is a range of unique qualifications that supports young people to grow as artists and arts leaders and inspires them to connect with and take part in the wider arts world.
Through Arts Award young people gain a nationally recognised qualification enabling them to progress into further education and employment. Arts Award has five levels, four of which are on the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF).
As they work towards Arts Award, children and young people collect evidence of what they have done and reflect on their experiences.
At all levels, children and young people work with an Arts Award adviser. This is a trained adult who supports young people in gaining arts experiences, provides guidance and assesses arts logs and portfolios.
An Arts Award can be based around any arts or media activity. There are no entry requirements, no time limit for completing the award, and no set rules on how to present final work. Young people just need to be aged under 25, and ready to explore new creative experiences.
Arts Award is managed by Trinity College London in association with Arts Council England.
