"The team at KWMC are always extremely enthusiastic and knowledgable and bring technical skills and ideas which mean that our students learn and develop in ways that wouldn’t be possible in the school setting.”
Art Teacher, St Mary Redcliffe & Temple School
"It's a wonderful thing .... to share practice, we don’t get much time to do this and ... a forum where we could meet and chat about the common issues and successes and things that work."
"I learnt how to use the Mac computers and how to take proper pictures. I liked that the project was set out of school and that I got the chance to meet professional photographers."
Student, aged 14
