Autism Wessex

Canford School provided the use of the Layard Theatre for Portfield School and the Orpheus Centre. The Schools combined and pupils shared their own music and songs, which they had written. This was performed to families and friends.

Aims

Portfield School has no performance space, so this partnership enabled pupils to perform in a Theatre.

Background

Canford School works with Portfield School as part of our Community Service programme.

Resources

Use of School facilities
