Schools

Our new schools engagement strategy sits alongside our wider work with the culture sector and is built on the principle of empowering and inspiring school leaders and teachers to innovate and embed good practice. Read our strategy summary.

Schools are key to introducing young people to culture, to driving progression and engagement and to ensuring level access to cultural opportunities. Culture Bridge North East will support schools by encouraging engagement in local networks and partnerships and engagement with cultural organisations, by encouraging uptake of Artsmark and Arts Award, by signposting cultural partners and encouraging schools to champion cultural learning.
