I had already been accepted onto the Ringwood school teacher training course, but I had heard the scitt had a good reputation. I was hoping my placements would be local as I had three young children.

What experiences did you most benefit from?
Being at two different/ opposite schools, one private and small/ local, and one a normal large comp. Both with different aspects of art offered on the curriculum.

What are your future plans?
I currently work p/t at two schools. One local as an art teacher teaching primary and secondary art. The other in Southampton as a SEN art teacher. My plans are to use therapy in art to support those with mental health needs. I am doing an art therapy course for art teachers called ‘articulate’ in sept online. I would like to introduce more therapy with art and sen support into mainstream schools. Also still thinking about doing an MA in art therapy.
