Student / Pupil comments

"The tutors have been really kind and helpful, they do their best to help you achieve the very best you can do. I also like the freedom we were given, it was good to be able to look after yourself" - Harriet

"I feel I have strongly matured over this last week. I have enjoyed it so much along with the activities. The Art department taught me new types of Art compared to a normal 'slap on some paint' approach. I've seriously loved this week as we have all got on fab, we've put age aside and worked as a team and the end result is excellent" - Aidan

"The experience at Ingestre Hall has been an amazing one. The Art classes which I have taken have opened my eyes to the variety of artistic techniques and influences available to me as a GCSE student. The projects we have completed have been so enjoyable and exciting to do and I couldn't have wished for a greater week! The main thing I have learnt is that my passion fort art and design increases day by day and it's something I would love to do when I am older as an occupation" - Chloe

"It was a great environment to work in because my mates were there and the tutor was really great to work with as well" - Jeanette

"It didn't matter if we made a mistake. Everybody got along with each other and I'm sure that everybody had a good time. The best part was presenting our work to other people and I hoped everybody liked our ideas as much as I did" - Paige

"I have changed by not just giving up on something I have started but to continue working hard to get it finished and I had a great time at Ingestre Hall" - Anton

"I have loved it here and I'd just like to say thank you Ingestre Hall and my tutor. I must stop saying I can't do it because I can do it!" - Sophie

"We completed our dance task and I believe it was very good for an end result. At Ingestre I have achieved confidence and the knowledge to know that I can do things if I try" - Stephanie

"I really enjoyed my time at Ingestre. The workshops were really interesting and different from school. Our group achieved a lot this week and all of the work was brilliant. Also at Ingestre we split up from our usual groups of friends and spoke to people we hadn't before" - Aimee

"Being here was brilliant. You're with your friends and having a great laugh. Enjoy all your time - every minute, because when you are home you will regret if you should have done things differently" - Laura

"It was really good because we were with our friends and the work was really fun. We have enjoyed it and it was a great experience, especially if you like Art, Music or Drama. Our favourite subject was Art. Ingy rocks!" - Jake and Kyle

"Ingestre Hall is a great experience and by the end of your stay here you will have achieved things you've never achieved before" - Jordan

"Music is good because you get to make a CD and play with instruments. You can even make your voice sound funny!" - Josh

"I think Ingestre Hall is brilliant because the work is fantastic and it gives you the opportunity to do things that you might not be able to do later on in life and there is no best part because it is all brilliant" - Jas

"The best thing about Music was that I learned to play the drums. I liked music because it is a great feeling to know you can play your favourite instrument. The best thing about Dance was we all cooperated by lifting Liam. In Art we used scrap pieces of material to build up face parts. I enjoyed doing the masks, putting on all of the colour and textures of the masks" - Katie
