Cheadle Pupils enjoy the lesson of a lifetime

Pupils from Inscape House in Cheadle enjoyed a lesson with a difference this month when hip-hop community group, Twelve24, visited the school. During the day, the students took part in activities such as break dancing and body popping, to learn about topics including, self-esteem, respect and tackling racist and homophobic stereotypes.
 
Gail Norrie, deputy head at Inscape House said: “Pupils at Inscape have Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) – they have difficulty with social interaction and social communication, which means that it is particularly important that issues like these are addressed with them. By working with groups such as Twelve24, we can ensure our curriculum meets the needs of each and every pupil, and present topics in a diverse, relevant and entertaining way.
 
The session was thoroughly enjoyed by the students and many got to try their hand at activities such as break dancing for the first time. As well as having lots of fun and learning new skills, the pupils were taught some important lessons that will stand them in good stead for the rest of their lives.”
