Class 6 enjoyed a day with Urban Gongs writing and producing their own raps in groups.  They had an amazing time and the finished pieces are fantastic.  Please click below to listen to each group.

Congratulations to Amelia for passing the Grade 3 Clarinet exam with flying colours!!

On Wednesday 6th February, the Arts council, England awarded the school Silver Artsmak status for two years.

 

In September 2016 the school started on work towards the Artsmark Silver. Artsmark award celebrates schools that value the arts and work towards for excellence in their provision. The process has taken two years from start to finish. We worked closely with a 'bridge organisation', 'The Mighty creatives'. www.themightycreatives.com 

This organisation provides guidance on funding and training in the arts and can suggest artists and venues that can support our work in school.

All of the pupils in class 5 are having lessons on Eb Tenor Horn. The instruments are provided by Notts. Music Hub www.nottsmusichub.org.uk 

 

We have well established music clubs where children are taught to play Clarinet, Brass Instruments and Guitar. Youngsters have taken and passed grade examinations on these instruments. www.abrsm.org The singing club took part in the Young Voices concert in Sheffield Arena in January 2019. www.youngvoices.co.uk

Discover and Explore Arts award levels has been introduced. www.artsaward.org Arts Award inspires young people to grow their arts and leadership talents: it's creative, valuable and accessible.

Arts Award can be achieved at five levels, four qualifications and an introductory award.

This has some similarities to the Duke of Edinburgh Award. The Arts Award can be continued to Bronze, Silver and Gold Award when the youngsters move on to Secondary Education.

These are exciting times in school. 

A broad curriculum is on offer to all pupils and the Artsmark has recognised our achievements.

 

 

Bringing learning to life through arts and culture 

Thank you for your submissions to Artsmark.

 

Your Statement of Commitment and Case Study have been reviewed by our assessment panel and we are delighted to inform you that Harworth CofE Academy (DfE 8913552) has been awarded an Artsmark Silver Award. Congratulations!

 

The panel has made the following comment about your submissions:

 

The panel commends Harworth’s commitment to supporting an arts and culturally rich curriculum. The journey has not always been smooth and there have been a lot of changes in school, but the ethos has been maintained throughout and the school is achieving tangible results of a culturally rich curriculum. The value the school places on the arts is evidenced by whole school planning using ‘learning ladders’, and overall arts curriculum design. There are a range of arts and cultural practitioners working in school and pupils have opportunities to see work outside of the classroom. Opportunities are supported by Arts Award. For the future. A good, positive start to your Artsmark journey. 

 

Congratulations on your Artsmark Silver Award!
