- Worcesters Primary School ~ Middlesex ~ Artists in Schools were very easy to work with as a company. They were easy to contact and they responded to emails immediately. From the moment Jane and Alan arrived we felt we were in capable hands. They prepared all the resources that we needed and were able to manage the school staff effectively to set up the room. Jane and Alan's relationship with the children was fantastic, the children were engaged from the beginning and they both managed behaviour well too. The activities they had prepared worked well with our topic of Ancient Greece and they were well pitched for the age group. Both Alan and Jane helped the school staff to clear up at the end of the day and to set up for the next day. The children thoroughly enjoyed the different art activities and the drama workshop. We would definitely book Jane and Alan again and work with Artists in Schools. Thank you for your hard work to make our visit memorable.

- South Wootton Infant School ~ Kings Lynn ~ Extremely well-co-ordinated. Heidi was exactly the right person to visit and work in our school. She delivered a superb two day workshop and the resulting felt banner is just gorgeous. It will make a beautiful addition to our new library! Heidi was here before anyone else in the morning and left after the teachers!! Feedback from staff and parent helpers was that she had an excellent rapport with the children, repeating the same instructions 6 times with the same enthusiasm each time! I'd love to work with Heidi again!

- Southbank International School ~ London ~ Darcy was lovely with the children, he captivated them from the very beginning, and he was extremely flexible with the timetable and willing to work around our requirements and requests.
- St Aubyn’s School ~ Woodford Green ~ I have nothing but praise for Darcy. He was happy, professional and clearly loves what he does. From start to finish the kids were motivated, enthusiastic and focused. We now have 61 kids whose aim in life is to be an artist/inventor. They are so very proud of their new skills and piece of sculpture that many of them bought their parents into school to see their work. They have also devised new aspects of their work to further develop it. Thank you so much for putting us into contact with Darcy and I am sure we will be contacting you for future workshops.

- Oliver Goldsmith Primary School ~ London ~ Anne was well prepared and had a great relationship with the children offering just the right blend of challenge plus support for them to be very successful
- Martins Wood Primary School ~ Stevenage ~ I worked with Darcy once before and know he gives an excellent workshop. This time was just as exciting! The children loved the opportunity to work in a material they rarely have the chance to work in. They enjoyed the metal bashing; they were thrilled by the sense of risk involved in doing something teachers are usually too afraid to try. Darcy was exciting and inspiring; the children came away talking about how they could make their own inventions.
- Marden Primary School ~ Tonbridge ~ From the outset of making contact with Artists in Schools I was able to receive practical advice about organising to have an artist in residence; particularly regarding options in cost and meeting the schools needs. The artist was dynamic and friendly, inspiring adult and children alike. Our biggest sadness was that he couldn’t have stayed with us for another day to work with Reception and KS1 children! All children were able to participate and achieve success. Parents were invited to come to the hall after the school to see the children’s work. Many positive comments were received. Warmest thanks.
- All Saints CE Primary School ~ London ~ I found everything very easy to organize. The information was clear and it was great to have email and phone contact with Simon and the artist. The artist was very approachable and easy to work with, and he had a lovely attitude towards the children. Many thanks for a super day!
- Boxmoor Primary School ~ Hemel Hempstead ~ Excellent! Anne Schwegmann-Fielding was professional and organised, with very clear ideas of how everything would run. Excellent rapport with the children and behaviour management and she created a beautiful finished product!! Artists in Schools great to work with as an organisation too!

- Flamstead Primary School ~ St Albans ~ From the beginning to end Artists in Schools provided a really helpful and efficient service and the workshop itself was fabulous.

- Handsworth Wood Girls School ~ Birmingham ~ Day was well planned and structured. Students were involved and well motivated.
