Events

Art Therapy provision group exhibition at Thomas Clarkson Academy : 2023

Thomas Clarkson Academy shared an ambition to create an opportunity for students, initially from an SEND (special educational needs and disabilities) background, to explore the potential of an Art Therapy provision programme. The main aim was to enable students to build confidence and improve and enhance their physical, mental, and emotional well-being in a safe environment.

The exhibition which was held at the school was to celebrate the students work and to share with the school this new and exciting opportunity being opened.
