Cultural education
Exploring the benefits of arts, culture and creativity and how you can influence provision in your school or trust.

It is a legal requirement for all schools to promote the cultural development of their pupils through the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development education requirements.听听from the Department for Education outlines the minimum levels of cultural activities that pupils should experience.听While these are voluntary recommendations, they听provide a benchmark for boards to reflect on.
Cultural education can enhance aspiration and ambition, develop communication and build discipline and confidence in young people. Our collection of cultural education guidance for governing boards explores the benefits of arts, culture and creativity and explains how you can positively influence provision in your school or trust.
