This happens in the form of monthly workshops, supported by a team from the OAE. A brilliant example of how our partnership at ABS is working is our new initiative of sessions in the BASE (ABS unit for students with autism).

This came about through a discussion with Billy Pinches, Associate SENDCo and OAE Education Director, Cherry Forbes. We have piloted four sessions at the Base and moving forward this will become a monthly session for Year 7-10 students.

Students are gaining confidence in working together and the sessions provide them with the chance to explore a range of music.
