It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Artburst this year. As manager of the Museum of London’s learning programme for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities, I’m always looking for talented partners to deliver our creative arts projects. I’m delighted to say that in Artburst, I’ve found a team of enthusiastic and dedicated professionals full of great ideas who are highly skilled at improving the confidence and communication skills of the children and young people they work with.

The participants involved ranged from year 3 to year 9 students, from a mixed age range of PMLD students to adults with learning difficulties. Over 130 people were involved in making, creating, playing and working together and it really was an amazing experience for everyone, not just the students. So thank you. An amazing week and a truly amazing achievement, your ability to change and adapt your teaching styles to suit the needs of the individual learner is a great asset.
