Arts Award
Isambard is the first school in the country where all staff have been trained to be an Arts Award advisor.
The Arts Award is a nationally recognised qualification, similar to the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Young people gather evidence of the participation in arts activities in their portfolio, under the following headings:
Taking part
Being the audience
Heroes and heroines
Sharing skills
When their Arts Award advisor thinks that they have met all the criteria, their portfolio will be submitted for moderation by an external advisor. The bronze Arts Award is worth one point on the national qualifications framework.
Since Flux began until July 2009 Flux enabled:
66 students to gain their Bronze Arts Awards
5 students to gain their Silver Arts Award
1 Flux young member of staff has gained the Gold Arts Award.

I wish this award had existed when I was young, what a fab way to enjoy your arts and get a recognised qulaification at the same time!
The arts award is great!I am really looking foreward to achieving all three of the arts award and hope it will help me to become a film director
The arts award is very fun because it helps to get into things that you have never done before or to just continue something you enjoy doing.

Young people in Swindon are very lucky to have access to community projects like Flux! It can open their minds to all aspects of culture: Music, Arts, Graphic Design, Media etc. Wonderful stuff!
