AHiS has contnued to work closely with Pearson to provide teacher-training opportunites throughout the year, and resources that Pearson were not able to provide to school teachers. We have been supported in the provision of CPD by school teachers and academics, and in the provision of resources by school teachers, academics, and the educaton departments of natonwide museums and galleries thus sharing expertse and experience with the wider public and expandingan understandingof Art History. |

Achievements and Performance

| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | Regular Events We maintained our staff, working partnerships, and regular annual training events and conferences even though these had to take place online/over zoom rather than face-to-face: 17 March – online marking training for ex- Pre-U teachers and others; 30 June – annual Art History and Art & Design Higher Education Conference online, for the first time in conjunction with South London Gallery’s Art Assassins Team; 17 November – online teachers’ CPD in conjunction with the Association for Art History. NEC Online A-Level Art History Our first cohort of NEC online A-Level students tutored by AHiS teachers and trustees completed the course and were given their TAGs. All students achieved at least a Grade B, with 31% A* and 56% A - well above the national average. We met our target of expanding the subject outside the south of England as after London, the largest cohorts came from Yorkshire and Lancashire. On 20thNovember we ran a face-to-face session for NEC students at the National Gallery as part of the AAH’s Ways of Seeing Conference. As none of our three fast-track Art-teacher bursary students managed to complete the course, we sponsored a trainee teacher for the examination fees. |
