Congratulations to Gateshead's Artsmark-winning schools
This year, Gateshead had the second-highest number of Artsmark awards out of the twelve local authority areas in the north east of England, with ten schools taking awards.
This success is another indicator of the borough's determination to enrich the learning experience for its young people.
The scheme is run by Arts Council England and is supported here by Gateshead Council's Arts Development Team and the Raising Achievement Service.
The three categories of this national award (Artsmark, Artsmark Silver or Artsmark Gold) are given to schools who show a commitment to the full range of arts - music, dance, drama and art & design.
The winning Gateshead schools were as follows:
Artsmark
Larkspur Primary
Lobley Hill Primary
Artsmark Silver
Bill Quay Primary
St Joseph's RC Primary, Gateshead
St Aidan's CofE Primary
Artsmark Gold
Fellside Primary
Crookhill Primary
St Peter's RC Primary
Carr Hill Primary
Emmaville Primary

Artsmark is a national award for schools in England. It is a symbol of recognition for schools making a strong commitment to the full range of the arts and is becoming a benchmark for excellence in schools and a nationally recognised symbol of quality creative curriculum provision.
Ten Gateshead schools were awarded artsmark this year - five Gold, three Silver and two Artsmark awards. We have also had interest from schools who are interested in applying this year, so the seminar is an opportunity to find out more about applying for the award. The deadline for applications for Round 7 is 17 November 2006.
Arts Council England North East and Gateshead Council's Arts Team are hosting this free seminar in order to support and develop Artsmark applications from schools interested in applying in the future. The seminar will provide a basic introduction the following:
