Impact Arts

Did you know that we offer a range of school based services, from creative workshops to Art Therapy? All of our services aim to support pupils to re-engage with education, learn at their own pace, and equip them with the skills and confidence to move forward today and in the future.

A full menu of our school based services can be viewed here. If you have any questions, or if you’re interested in working with us, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Outdoor Creative Play (Primary)

Engagement in creative and play-based activities directly supports childhood development, building vital physical, social and cognitive skills.

Impact Arts delivers a play-based approach providing safe outdoor activities where creativity and connection to nature are explored. Sessions (8 x two-hour weekly sessions) include encouraging the exploration of outdoor spaces – the parks, the playgrounds, the lawns etc.; introducing art materials into these environments and encouraging creative methods to be extended into family life and peer-with-peer play.

“My daughter found a paper tube at home and made a beautiful bird out of it. I was so impressed! I am sure she was inspired by the 3D bird she had made in her Creative Play session.”

Reconnect (Secondary)

ReConnect is an innovative Alternative Curriculum programme that engages young people from S1-S4 who are experiencing challenges with engaging (or declining to engage altogether) in mainstream education, and P7 children who are identified as at risk of not making
a successful and positive transition to secondary education. Our experience tells us that school refusers often are those experiencing bullying or extreme social anxiety and/or those engaging in anti -social behaviour.

I have parents phoning me saying the behaviour at home has vastly improved. His language is better and he is engaging in conversations. An increase in self-belief and confidence has enabled these young people to come back into school and attend classes. Currently all are working towards a successful engagement in education and all have increased their attendance by a minimum of 10%.”

You may therefore be interested in external funding through the Anna Burne Trust, available only to Scottish schools, which could support you to purchase our services.
