Hitherfield Primary is one of the schools which has received the Artsmark
Lambeth schools are now among the best in the country for arts, drama, music and dance.
Just under half of Lambeth schools now have an Artsmark award - the gong from national arts organisation the Arts Council, for excellence in arts in schools - compared to just 15 per cent of schools nationally.
Councillor Paul McGlone, Lambeth Council’s cabinet member for children and young people, said it showed a commitment in the borough’s schools to developing free-thinking, creative young people.
The latest round of awards - which last for three years - saw 16 of the borough’s schools receive an Artsmark, including secondary schools Bishop Thomas Grant and Dunraven, and Hitherfield and Streatham Wells primary schools.
