Arts and Culture Schools

Arts and Culture School

All schools in the borough are invited to become an Arts and Culture School, demonstrating their commitment to the arts for their young people and gaining access to regular updates on resources and activities taking place.

Schools will receive:

  • A digital badge which you can add to your website and print off and display in your school entrance 

  • A regular ‘Arts and Culture School’ e-newsletter to keep in touch with Croydon’s cultural sector

Enrichment experiences provided by Croydon’s cultural sector for your learners might include:

Arts and Culture School Development Journey
