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 approach.

The contribution Bamboozle has made to Yeoman Park School is significant and valued by both our students and staff.
The work wholly supports our belief in a ‘pupil centred approach’ and has successfully given our students an inspiring and creative experience to which they have made a positive contribution.
This work has been with a group of pupils whose profound complexity isolates and restricts their experiences in all aspects of their lives.
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 creative experienced was truly shared and valued by everyone.
The Bamboozle artists showed all pupils (and staff) an inspiring level of respect.
Life in Special Schools is busy and demanding. The opportunity to observe and reflect on such skilful practice has re-charged my personal enthusiasm and focus on the importance of fun engagement and recognising the value of each student’s contribution.

Bamboozle has been in our School working in partnership with us. This innovative research project brings together educators and creative practitioners.
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. The artists … are engaged in developing a wider practice and approach over a period of time – perhaps years”.
As educators we may not have the skill level of the Bamboozle company members but we in accord with their underlying principles and discovering new ones through a genuine dialogue!.
We are excited at the thought of possible outcomes and will be welcoming Bamboozle into our School for performances and dialogue.
