Arts Award Explore is a nationally recognised qualification for young people aged 7-25 designed by Trinity College London. It celebrates young people’s creativity, gives them confidence in the arts, and introduces them to the process of documenting and sharing their creative journey.

Reflect: document the process, including their learning and creative decisions.

The learner’s work is assessed by a trained Arts Award adviser, and may be moderated by Arts Award for quality assurance.
