A YORK school has shown its artistic flair after been given a national award.
Huntington School received the Artsmark silver award for its ability to provide a range of artistic opportunities.
The bid was submitted to Arts Council England by head of art, Ric Sheader, art teacher Aileen Denholm, head of drama, Bev Veasey and head of music Phil Moore.
The school had to show it offered students opportunities to participate in art, music, dance and drama, and had an overarching policy for the arts.
