TESTIMONIAL
“Tony is an extremely talented artist who, in my opinion, has immense impact on all those who work with him. He has superb,original ideas but will always ask, discuss and use those of the pupils whenever and if ever possible. He sees possibilities and opportunities in all that he hears, sees and experiences within the school context.
He has the most gentle, caring and open attitude to the challenges, disabilities and special needs our children possess. He instinctively recognises and deals with children of varying needs, including motivating and keeping ‘on task’ children who are normally difficult to handle because of behaviour.”
Bernadette Pinder. Crosshill School
