A school is celebrating after striking gold for its arts education.

Langley Senior School in Loddon has achieved the Artsmark Gold standard from Arts Council England.

Headmaster Dominic Findlay, said: 'The award recognises not just the amazing opportunities we provide within the creative departments, but it also reflects how effectively the arts are embraced across the whole school.'

Arts Council England said: 'Artsmark has clearly been a transformative journey for Langley School, with activities, progression routes and projects blossoming across departments in the school. It is heartening to see whole school support and change.

'Your young people have equal opportunity to plan, experience, participate in, and evaluate a diverse range of high-quality arts and cultural activities and you recognise the importance of development opportunities in these areas.'
