Your school clearly has a strong, established commitment to the Arts.

A powerful next step is to connect with other schools, deepen relationships with your local arts sector, and consider how your school can influence the wider community.

Leading the Arts in Your School can help with this, allowing you to explore innovative practice, co‑creation with artists, and sector‑leading approaches that could help you take your provision even further.

24

It’s clear that you see real potential for Arts and Culture within your school.

Leading the Arts in Your School can support you to develop this strategically - helping you secure senior‑leader buy‑in, strengthen your Arts vision, and connect everyday classroom practice with whole‑school priorities.

If there are areas on your School Improvement Plan that still need solutions, the Arts could be a powerful way to help your SLT move them forward.

25

If you’ve identified areas for development through this exercise and want to grow your Arts Leadership skills while making an impact in your school, our Leading the Arts in Your School course could be a great fit. Gain practical strategies, collaborate with peers, and drive change.

On the next step, you can save and print your checklist to share with your SLT and secure their support for joining one of our upcoming courses.
