Here are some pics from the last few weeks of after school art clubs that Club Creative is running at John E Batty primary in Redcar. We are running art clubs for every year group across the 2010-11 academic year

I am delighted that our newly launched Corporate Entertainment & Training packages have got off to a great start. The Fairbridge Project are a well established national charity helping vulnerable young people who are NEET get training and employment opportunities. They have training arm – Fairbridge Training – who train youth workers, teachers and anyone who works with young people in how to engage and get results. They are having an annual meeting this week with their national team of trainers and asked for something different, fun and creative that their trainers could take away with them and build into their own techniques. This proved quite a challenge for Club Creative as they have an abundance of core creative skills amongst their staff but we eventually settled on an afternoon of drumming and percussion techniques which is guaranteed to put a smile on their faces, and give the trainers some new techniques for engagement.

We also launch our Arty Parties this week with a physical theatre / drama games Xmas party for Dormanstown Youthie. The group of 40 children aged 8-13yrs will enjoy a high energy, action packed physical theatre session that will encourage teamwork and co-operation to achieve results in a midly competitive environment.

If you would like to know more about our range of Arty Parties and Corporate Entertainment packages please get in touch.

“The students are loving it – the next session sounds good.  Our member of staff was very impressed and keen to come back. Can we book some more sessions in next year?”

Rachel McAndrew, Freebrough Academy July 2011 commenting on our alternative provision for a group of disengaged students.

“Hi Neil -the mention in our Ofsted report is as follows – ‘Pupils engage enthusiastically in visits and welcome visitors. A good proportion joins after- school clubs which offer a wide range of activities”, and “Wide and varied additional activities provide pupils with new and rich experiences.’ Well done us!”

Avril Haswell, Bader Primary June 2011 quoting from their brilliant Ofsted report. Club Creative has provided two arts based after school clubs every week of the 2010-2011 academic year.

“We’ve just had Paul the Circus Skills guy in this morning, and it went down really well.Our kids loved him….and we found some talented performers amongst the kids (but sadly not the staff !)”

“Hi Neil, the Steel project went well and we are looking forward to the installation. Amy worked well with our learners and we are excited to see the finished product!
