To achieve a gold award, a school must devote at least 15 per cent of its teaching time to the arts.

After progressing through bronze and silver, this is the second time the school has won a gold award, The award lasts three years and this one follows on from its 2006 award.
Mr Collins said: “Our students have really enjoyed working with a diverse range of arts practitioners.”
