Sessions take place on Wednesday evenings during term time, providing an platform for young people to explore the performing, creative and digital arts. Led by seasoned tutors with extensive experience in the realm of special education, this initiative is designed to empower young people to unleash their artistic potential while honing their interpersonal skills.

The topics and activities are refreshed each term, providing participants with a diverse and enriching journey through the world of the arts.
