What teachers say about the Bamboozle approach:

“We have been deeply impressed with the sheer talent and professionalism of the Bamboozle Team. Their respect for the dignity and individuality of our students is manifest in their sensitive and appropriate communication approaches. Bamboozle has sought to marry the aesthetic but practical approach to the challenge we have set them; to help us discover some radically new entry points for learning for our ‘hardest to reach’ students with ASD.” John Naylor, Yeoman Park School.

“I have been personally moved to see our young people achieve a level of engagement and enjoyment that is not frequently witnessed in school. The Bamboozle artists showed all pupils (and staff) an inspiring level of respect. The opportunity to observe and reflect on such skilful practice has re charged my personal enthusiasm.” Christina House – Head of School, Redgate School.
