This week I’ve been helping at the first mmu artscool. This is where local schoolchildren come in to the Crewe campus to perform and do all kinds of art-based activities. Although I now feel knackered, it has been a privilege to work on such an event. Over the last two days there have been something like 1500 schoolkids on campus with about 200 performers and artists. I was one of about 50 student helpers, who are all a great lot. I have never seen so much vibrancy – there were kids there whose age ranges from 5 to 18, from mainstream and SEN. One of the best outcomes is that I’ll be working with (among others) Springfield school this autumn. Springfield is a local special school, which means I can better acquaint myself with the special school system, which will help me be a better campaigner for incklusion.

Well, I’m shattered. Goodnight all.
