TEACHER  COMMENTS  -  APPROVAL  BOXES


   

" We set up various tableaux as part of a 'Culture' project for our AS Level students. The objects and artefacts provided by Starbeck are crucial for pupil appreciation of a wide range of art and crafts from different continents around the world. The Introduction of the International Baccalaureate for pupils post 16 in 2008 means that Starbeck, with it's emphasis on celebrating internationalism and fair trade, is an absolute asset for Art departments. "
