Extraordin­arily Creative – Drama Programme for autistic and neurodiver­gent students 5-16yrs

Extraordin­arily Creative are weekly classes in term time that follow the principles of Mason Durie’s Four Pillars (physical health, spiritual health, family health, mental health). These one-hour drama classes focus on the process of drama so that students can gain confidence, create friendship­s and be their authentic selves.

Jeanita Cush-Hunter (from Autism Consultanc­y Education) leads the tutoring team at both venues and says, “it is an absolute privilege to work with these students.”

“My grandson has always wanted to do acting, and it is such a wonderful opportunit­y to experience this in an inclusive, safe and fun way. He is so enjoying his time with the Extraordin­arily Creative class and just loves going every week. Many thanks to Jeanita and the Tim Bray team, as this is exactly what we’ve been searching for!” - Cushla S, grandparen­t of EC student, June 2022
