Workshops for Children with Special Educational Needs

We all learn in different ways! Our Artsmark-accredited workshops help those who are sensory seekers to explore subjects through performance and interaction.  

​

We use our unique brand of storytelling, music, puppetry, and sensory props to bring the chosen subject to life. Our workshops are designed for SEND schools and mainstream schools with SEN provision, but are open to all.

​

The sessions are adaptable to different ages ranging from KS1-KS4, and we deliver content suitable for ALL abilities in a safe and enriching environment. Accredited by the Artsmark Programme, you can trust our workshops to hold high standards for quality and creativity.

​​

Whatever the subject matter, we aim to make every session interactive, engaging and fun!

It goes on to say, "Embracing Arts presents an interactive performance sure to get the whole family involved in creating a Circus Troop! We particularly welcome audiences with additional and complex needs". Below this text is an illustration of a set of 4 red and white circus tents. There is also a pink and orange monkey puppet holding a yellow balloon and wearing a red clown nose and spotted rainbow bow tie.
