WCU works in collaboration with its partner schools to offer and deliver various levels of the Arts Award qualification. Their services include:
In-School Delivery: WCU offers to deliver the Arts Award in schools as part of 7-week activity blocks.
Graduation Ceremonies: Certificates for the Arts Award are presented at their annual graduation ceremonies, alongside their standard Children's University awards.
Online Resources: They provide resources and information on the Arts Award to their partner schools and families through their website.
This allows children participating in the WCU program to gain a nationally recognized qualification accredited by Trinity College London.
Westminster Children's University (WCU) is an Arts Award centre that facilitates the qualification through its partner schools. Their achievements related specifically to the Arts Award are generally qualitative and integrated into their broader mission:
Arts & Crafts Awards: WCU has been recognized internally for "Art and Craft Excellence and Art and Crafts Progress and Excellence" awards in 2019, highlighting the quality of the student work produced within their programs that likely feed into the Arts Award qualification.
Curriculum Integration: They provide a structured program that allows children to work towards the Arts Award as part of 7-week activity blocks within schools, showing successful integration into the educational timetable.
Promoting Mental Health: The arts activities, including those part of the Arts Award, align with their broader success in addressing student mental health needs, for which they received other Wellbeing Awards and accreditations.
Collaboration: WCU's core achievement is successfully partnering with numerous prestigious cultural organisations in London (such as the Royal Albert Hall and Kensington Palace) to provide the extracurricular learning opportunities necessary for children to complete the Arts Award and collect learning hours.
Over 500 children have completed the Arts Award at WCU and we aim to continue to successfully use the award framework to inspire creativity and build confidence in young people
