Z-arts is dedicated to inspiring creativity in children and young people. We do this through an exciting programme of Creative Learning activity – working with Nursery, Primary and Secondary schools to deliver workshops and projects in dance, drama, music, creative writing, digital and visual arts.

We aim to create inspiring learning experiences for pupils and teachers. All our Creative Learning activity is delivered by experienced artist educators – freelance professionals who share our passion and enthusiasm. Z-arts works in partnership with schools to develop projects which complement school topics and themes, tackle specific attainment targets, or support the needs of identified student groups.

Our offer includes; Masterclasses, Creative Classrooms, After-school clubs, Cultural Diversity, Bright Ideas, SWITCH Transitions, Family Engagement, Work Experience and a year round programme of Big Imaginations theatre shows and events.

Z-arts is proud to be an Arts Award Centre and an Arts Award supporter. Through our programmes, we can support individual pupils to achieve accreditation through Arts Award at Discover, Explore, Bronze, Silver and Gold level.

Our Bright Sparks School annual membership programme enables us to work with teachers and leadership staff to plan and deliver a bespoke 12-month Action Plan. The Bright Sparks School membership at GLOW level has been designed to support ArtsMark accreditation.
