Testimonials

Kiltonthorpe School , which is a Special school in Brotton, Cleveland, achieved Specialist Arts College status just over three years ago.

The students across all areas of the school have enjoyed a vast range of Art, ICT, Film and Dance opportunities , and the school community celebrate their achievements with a special event., on Wednesday 23rd November 2011 .

We invited all parents of Secondary and 6^th Form students to our afternoon Cinematic showing of the best of our Arts College work from the last three years, along with Governors and Friends of the school, including ex-students. .

Kiltonthorpe Film-maker and Animators Adam Reamswood and Ben Hopkinson presented an impressive show, supported by Lauren Henderson, Arts Facilitator.

The 40 minute programme of film clips, movies, animations and videos of activities, followed a packed morning where students attended workshops within school. Classes ranged from Physical Theatre and Stage combat , Circus skills, Photography, Drumming, Batik, Textiles, Art and Craft, Multi-sensory experience with Head massage and Face Painting.

It was a fabulous day, being able to share our successes with the students, staff, artists and practitioners who have featured highly in our Arts Programmes, over the years.

The event was planned by Director of Specialism, Kate Watson and organised by Neil Walker of Club Creative, (neil@club-creative.co.uk) with his team of student Event organisers.

“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 !)”

Kate Watson, KTS July 2010
