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
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
Make a Play – Primary School"Make a Play has been a fantastic project to be a part of and has always been a highlight of the academic year. It is one of the things that our Year 4s most remember about their year and a project that really encourages them to step outside of their comfort zone especially in terms of improvisation and performing in front of an audience. As a teacher, I have seen huge changes in the confidence of children in my class and have always had great pride in watching their performances. Even during the school closures, Artburst worked hard to make sure that our children were able to get the most out of the experience. " Year 3 Teacher Primary School Tower Hamlets.
