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.

I have been assessing the Arts Award for over 10 years now - Bronze, Silver & Gold.

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.

I have been assessing the Arts Award for over 4 years now - Bronze, Silver & Gold.
Overview of Resource:
In my school Year 10 take Bronze, Year 11 take SIlver and Years 12/13 take Gold.
Year 10 complete Bronze in the Autumn and Spring terms, then start Silver in the Summer term and finish it in Year 11 in the Autumn and Spring terms prior to GCSE exams. Year 12/13 have a choice to complete it over three terms or over 5 terms.
This mapping template is fully adaptable to your circumstances, term dates and pressures, so feel free to adapt however you see fit to!
