I found the whole experience gave me more confidence, that people who deal with my child have such a good knowledge of how to deal with children's different circumstances.Parent
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.Ian Nolan
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. "
