"The
new D&T curriculum at both KS3 & 4 requires
us all to be far more aware of different cultures,
much more aware of sustainability issues &
fair trade. This amazing collection of artefacts
is essential for schools to be able to build
up a wide range of products that reflect different
values. Creativity is high on the national agenda
& what better way of opening students' eyes
to a whole new world than to dip in to the Starbeck
van."
Brian Russell, Dixon's City Academy,

from neighbouring schools, pyramid or cluster group
friends, college students, trainee teachers, parents
