We are delighted to share with you The BAS Toolkit a resource designed to support your school or organisation in developing meaningful, sustainable arts partnerships. It’s part guide, part inspiration and a celebration of the incredible practice happening across Birmingham.
The Birmingham Arts School (BAS) programme was created with a clear aim: to ensure all young people in Birmingham have access to high-quality arts education that nurtures creativity, critical thinking, and cultural awareness—helping them thrive in an increasingly complex world.
From September 2021 to July 2025, BAS brought together schools and arts professionals to place the arts at the heart of education. Through conferences, CPD, networks, one-to-one consultancy, and showcase events, we equipped teachers and arts educators with creative tools and pedagogies that addressed real challenges in schools—ensuring meaningful, impactful arts experiences for all students.
