Governing boards play an important role in ensuring every child has access to a broad and balanced curriculum. Arts and culture form a key part of this, allowing young people to develop their creative skills alongside their personal development, giving them the tools they need to succeed in life. 

The Arts Council has produced four guides to support school governors champion the right for all young people to experience a creative education that includes:

• Arts, culture and creativity
• Art, craft and design
• Dance
• Music

The guides can be downloaded from the Arts Council website.
