CarissCreative has brought therapists into our school who are able to provide what we need, when we need. They have helped us weather two traumatic events affecting our whole school. The therapists are mindful of the fact that the school’s primary purpose is to ensure students learn at the highest level they are able to achieve and to integrate intellectual curiosity and academic ambition into their lives.
Derek Hewie, Head Of Grazebrook School
I am delighted to work with CarissCreative’s therapy provision in all of my three schools. The skilled therapists support us in looking after the whole child, ensuring they are ready to learn and reach their potential. They work closely with school staff and family members to effectively support the needs of children who, for various reasons, are finding it difficult to get the most from their time in school. The therapists are highly skilled and the upmost professionals who work seamlessly as part of our wider school team. I highly recommend this service as part of a whole school approach.

Working with CarissCreative continues to be a joy. Their commitment to working collaboratively and flexibly has ensured we consistently produce output that is so creatively inspiring and innovative in approach. Without their expertise and strong links with schools we would never have got this project off the ground!
James McHoull, Wieden+Kennedy
The therapists have made such a positive impact on teachers and children and have made integrating therapy in to our school easy and effective.
Nicole Reid, Head of Shacklewell Primary School
Jodie’s an experienced and intuitive therapist and leader. She is professional and warm and can manage even the most difficult situations. I have seen great progress with families and children working in her care. She was a key player within our team and she offers unique and valuable insight.
Sharon Cole, Best Team Manager
Having their consistent support for our most vulnerable children we have already seen a positive influence. We very much rely on the therapists we work with to support both staff and students and cannot recommend them enough.
Rebecca Clark, Inclusion Officer and SENCO Woodberry Down Primary School
Working with CarissCreative was a unique experience that enabled me to see firsthand how beneficial the arts/media are for children of all ages, backgrounds & nationalities. Seeing how the children developed each week was really special, being guided and inspired every step of the way. CarissCreative champions social inclusion by working with all corners of the local community, from students to local businesses – making our project a community affair that everyone could enjoy and feel a part of.
