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.Noel Hayden – SEN Programme Manager Museum of London
Thank you both for creating such a wonderful piece of musical theatre for the Youth theatre to perform. They have had a wonderful time – all credit to your planning and child management, as well as of course to the fabulous quality of the product.Caroline Sharman
Charterhouse Museum SEND projectTeacher from Ickburgh school:
"My students were expertly facilitated to explore these creatively, and on their terms, through making and creating with a variety of tactile, textured and sensory materials. It enabled them to explore and develop their creativity. Approaching the past – places and artefacts that speak of it – in the way that Artburst did with my class, brings life and meaning to it for them. Thanks guys – it was a wonderful project. "
