Arts Council England (ACE) is working with Trinity College London to develop cultural passport and will roll out the first phase of the scheme this autumn.
The passport, which was one of the recommendations from the Henley Review of cultural education, is likely to provide an online service for children and young people that will record their engagement with cultural activities.
The Cultural Education Partnership Group (CEPG), established last March to take on some of the Henley Review recommendations, has now met five times and is working on several developments, including English Heritage’s £3m scheme to link schools with local museums.
Cultural engagement schemes will be piloted in Barking and Dagenham, Great Yarmouth and Bristol, which are areas identified as having low engagement with culture and a high proportion of deprived people.
The heritage schools scheme, which is running in 36 schools in the pilot areas, will be expanded from April to include north Tyneside, Leicester and Manchester. A total of 150 schools will be involved by 2015.
