Key Stage 2         Key Stages 3 & 4

Over recent years we have been fortunate to be able to deliver our projects in several schools around  Bournemouth & Poole. We work across the ages and deliver at a variety of levels ranging from after-school clubs/workshops through to alternative curriculum provision. 

We have been able to bring together some of the feedback from our school partners in '12 Great Reasons for Partnering with AIMCommunity' which you can download here

For Middle Schools we offer our Wider Opportunities and after schools programmes. These offer an opportunity for younger children (upto Year 7) to learn skills on guitars, keys, drums, bass, vocal and electronic music production.

As well as offering accredited programmes, we are also able to deliver our projects in a less intense and measured way. In the past we have provided sessions for extended schools where we deliver short workshops in any of our creative streams. These are accessible for any students after school hours. In addition we are also available for short-term intervention work as well as one-off workshops (during activity weeks, for example). 

Should your school wish to partner with us, we will work closely with you to design and deliver a programme that ensures your students are receiving the most beneficial experience possible.
