A note from the author:
Some of the resources from Arts Award directly are not very easy to use nor are they easy to communicate to or made accessible for young people. Therefore, I crafted this checklist as an extremely invaluable tool to support my Bronze Arts Award candidates in their organisation of evidence in their portfolio. I have been assessing the Arts Award for over 10 years now - Bronze, Silver & Gold.
Overview of Resource:
Use-friendly details and checklists of the evidence candidates require to pass the Bronze Arts Award.
Included:
Handout checklists for the four units in the Bronze Arts Award
Please note:
You must ensure that a member of your team is trained to assess your Arts Award candidates. Alternatively you can contact a local centre who can assess your candidates. Visit the Arts Award website for further details.

This was the quiz that I hosted for our annual Drama Department Dinner. 5 rounds, takes approximately 90 minutes or so depending on numbers and method of scoring (we used the teacher table to score). Our students are placed into different Theatre Companies (drama houses) for various events that they partake in each year.
Round 1 - General Theatre, Film & TV
Round 2 - Picture Round - Name the Actor & Character
Round 3 - School Drama Department (Make these your own!)
Round 4 - Music Round - Name Musical & Song
Round 5 - Theatre Superstitions
Overview of Resources:
These resources are for a complete quiz event.
Included:
Quiz Questions
Quiz Answer Sheets
Quiz Pictures Powerpoint (Round 2)
Please note:
You will have to supply the music for the music round (Round 4). You can source these on Youtube / Spotify. Ensure you cut off with the last line prompt or it may give away the title of the song or some other key piece of information.
You will also have to tailor the questions in Round 3 to your own school’s drama department. You can use mine as a basis.
