Current work with students excluded from schools
The
Weekend Academy is currently working with students from Pupil Referral and
Learning Support Units in Haringey, Camden and Islington. The Calouste Gulbenkian
Foundation is funding a groundbreaking project to develop skills for staff
from PRUs and LSUs, to enable them to work with artists in their units. The
project continues into 2007, piloting teachers’ work-books for animation
and painting courses. These
will be published in 2008. Sample pages can be viewed in pdf format from the
