Free SEN art class at Kite Studios Shepherd’s Bush

Kite Studios in Shepherd's Bush is an arts centre with a progressive focus on kids with special eduation needs, or "SEN". 

Kite Studios runs a SEN art class on Thursdays at 4.30pm at their Askew Road home.  

The course is for learners between the ages of 8 and 16, and Kite Studios are offering parents a free "taster" class, to try before you buy.

Art Studio for SEN learners
The Art Studio for SEN course is taught every Thursday afternoon during term time, for a duration of 10 to 13 weeks, depending on the length of the school term. There is a break at half term. The full schedule and pricing can be found on their Term Timetable

Free class
Kite Studios offer one-off trial classes in this course, which give parents and kids the opportunity to come along and try one class before committing to the entire course, and parents can book a trial class at any point in the term. 

Kite Studios
The Art Studio for SEN is a specially designed course catering to students with special educational needs. It provides them with a means of engaging with one another and developing their creativity skills irrespective of their ability. This course is suitable for children on the autism spectrum as well as those with global development delay.

Art and Creative Media
Each class will see students working with various tools, textures, media and techniques in the creation of their own artistic works. The Art Studio for SEN course is a supportive environment for students to learn in. Parents, carers and SEN-siblings are encouraged to participate with students who require 1-on-1 support.

Local support
In addition, Kite Studios has volunteers from local schools to assist, meaning that it is not obligatory for parents to remain for the full duration of the class. The hope with our Art Studio for SEN course is that the students are able to create in a relaxed environment that thrives on providing a creative outlet.

Join at Any Time
You can join this course at any point in the term, provided that there is availability, and the course price will be pro-rated to reflect the number of classes remaining in the current term.

This course is taught by Kite Studios founder Auriol Herford.
