Pendle MP Andrew Stephenson MP has written to congratulate Pendle schools recognised in the annual Artsmark Awards.
Artsmark Celebration Week, run by Arts Council England, recognises schools that go out of their way to provide high quality artistic or creative education, helping to build young people’s confidence, character and resilience.
Six schools from Pendle have been recognised for their commitment to artistic and cultural education. Colne Primet Academy, Lomeshaye Junior School, Walverden Primary School all received the Silver award, with Whitefield Infant School & Nursery receiving a Gold award.
Coates Lane and Newchurch-in-Pendle Primary Schools were also recognised for having registered with the scheme.
Mr Stephenson MP says “I am so pleased to see Pendle schools offering a high quality creative opportunities to our next generation. Young people’s artistic talent ought to be spotted and nurtured.
“I congratulate the schools, teachers and pupils that have been recognised and would encourage other Pendle schools to consider registering for Artsmark status.”
