Arts Leadership

Arts Award is a national qualification that recognises how young people develop as artists, arts practitioners and arts leaders. Young people aged between 11-25 can achieve Arts Awards at levels 1, 2 and 3 on the national qualifications framework.

Arts Award centres are organisations which support young people to develop their arts activities, including arts centres, theatres, schools, colleges, youth projects, voluntary clubs or community groups. All of our Arts and Community Arts staff here at Durham Gilesgate Sports College and Sixth Form Centre are trained Arts Award advisors.
