LYMM’S Oughtrington Primary School has been invited to a special ceremony to receive its second Artsmark Gold Award.
The ceremony and evening reception will be at the Brindley Arts Centre, Runcorn on September 21.
Head teacher Gill Marsland said: “I’m delighted that the Arts Council England has recognised Oughtrington’s dynamic arts education programme for a second time, in recognition of the schools commitment to, and excellence in arts education.
“Our recent Multi Cultural Arts Festival is further testament to the diverse and high quality, artistic experiences we provide for our children.”
Alan Davey, chief executive, Art Council England said: “We are committed to great art for everyone and we believe that the earlier children are creatively inspired, the more likely they are to have a lifelong engagement with art.
“Artsmark sets the standard for an outstanding arts offer in schools and it’s great to see so many new schools attaining Artsmark award this year. The award recognises for the second time Oughtrington’s passion for the arts and belief in the power of creativity”.
