Artsmark Platinum Award
Fantastic news – Collingwood School and Media Arts College is honoured and delighted to have been awarded the prestigious Artsmark Platinum status by the Arts Council, upgraded from Gold.
This award recognises Collingwood’s ongoing commitment to providing innovative and exciting opportunities for all of our young people in the Arts, and that we are a leading school in this sphere.
The awarding panel stated in their report:
‘It is wonderful to read that your pupils consider your arts and media provision to be ‘magical’ and ‘special’!
‘It will be wonderful to hear of how you spread your ‘magic’ as your journey continues!’

Well done to all the Collingwood staff who work so hard to ensure our pupils get the best possible arts experiences and of course thank you to our amazing young people who are always so enthusiastic and up for every challenge!
