"Working at Abbeydale Grange over an 8 week period on an a audio/radio production project with year 9 students, I was impressed by the great IT and media production set-up at the school (in some cases the equipment available was better than we have in BBC Radio!). By making the equipment and computers widely available to students inside and outside lessons the school is able to develop and encourage creativity in a way that we could never have dreamed about when I was at school 20 years ago. Also - the students had a very impressive level of IT skills.

The other key thing that struck me about Abbeydale was that the diverse backgrounds of the students were a strength for our project because it gave us an opportunity to hear a wide variety of opinions and different tastes in music which gave us lively and interesting results. Working with the school was a very enjoyable experience and I'd happily do it again!"
