Artis Foundation

Our Mission is to transform lives through the arts by creating magical, high quality learning opportunities that help people flourish.To achieve our mission, we have 4 key strategic themes:Bringing the curriculum to life in schoolsPromoting wellbeing and tackling social issuesDiscovering and nurturing artists as educatorsAdvocating the importance of arts in learning.

At Artis, we are all about embedding the performing arts into learning. We do this through Artis online - a creative learning video platform for primary schools, delivering weekly, curriculum-linked episodes that enable children to sing, dance and act the curriculum. Teachers using Artis online have seen significant improvements in oracy, engagement, confidence, wellbeing and SEND inclusion.&nbsp;We’re offering a free 12-month programme that can begin at any time (preferably at the start of the school year). It includes six themed series that consist of six episodes for each age group, designed to support classroom learning across a full academic year.Themes are curriculum-linked and include Seasons, Space, Myself, Moving Maths, Minibeasts, Light.&amp; Shadow, Eco Explorers and more.&nbsp;Episodes are complemented by short, 2-minute creative brain breaks requiring no equipment – ideal for energising or calming a class.&nbsp;The episodes are expert-led, curriculum-linked, and designed for active class participation, not passive viewing. They are designed to improve retention of information, oracy, confidence, engagement and SEND inclusion.&nbsp;&nbsp;We've worked with economists to track our impact and the numbers show a 29% improvement in oracy, 34% in confidence and 37% in wellbeing!In return for free access, we ask for:&nbsp;<ul><li>Simple feedback on each episode (rating scale and comment box)&nbsp;</li><li>A short written or spoken testimony at the end of the year&nbsp;</li><li>A short feedback survey at the end of the year&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>Data collection: scoring 10 randomly selected children per class throughout the year on a number of factors&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>Can I just trial it to see how it works?Yes, absolutely!
