School Clusters
We are thrilled to be launching a new cluster of primary schools in Ashfield collaborating to enhance arts and creative opportunities and lead an Artsmark action research project. 6 Schools are currently part of this fantastic offer, working alongside other schools across Ashfield to enhance arts collaborations. We hope to extend this offer to more schools in the future.

ARTS AWARD
Captivate has a team of experienced Arts Award trainers.
In April 2023, we celebrated our newest Arts Award Discover achievers at Sutton Road Primary School in Nottinghamshire. 81 children at Sutton Road Primary achieved an Arts Award at Discover level from Trinity College London, an introductory award designed for ages 5 and above that recognises their engagement with the arts.
Our project was in collaboration with Inspire Nottinghamshire Libraries, who worked with internationally renowned Japanese dance artist Takeshi Matsumoto in October 2022 to co-create artwork with local Mansfield primary schools by using dance and drawing. We are delighted to have supported the project and provide guidance from our Arts Award Advisor.
