We’re currently installing a custom-made aquarium at The Maudsley and Bethlem School, part of The Goldfinch Trust! 🐟
How aquariums benefit learners with additional needs:
• Reduce anxiety
• Provide sensory stimulation
• Promote mindfulness

Pupils enjoyed visiting Parliament where they met Liam Conlon, MP for Beckenham and Penge. A tremendously informative and engaging tour of House of Commons & House of Lords. "I loved the whole thing" said one. Fascinating to learn how history & design is tied into our strong democratic traditions.

Clever and intricate work from one of our students who made this carousel from a kit then designed and added extra features using the laser cutter - combining & augmenting standard design with personalised features. #Impressive!

Dia the percussionist brought his djembe drums back for fantastic sessions with our students, who quickly learned a challenging 4-part drum arrangement & improvised during joyous jam sessions. Dia shared fascinating insights into West African culture, traditions and society through his stories.
