Pathfield School is a special school for pupils aged 3–19 with a number of severe, profound and complex needs including autism.
Artists worked across the school, teaching local folk songs and arranging them in highly accessible ways. They explored multi-sensory elements with a set of lyrics – Lines on Frost – printed by a nineteenth-century Barnstaple broadside printer, devised a social dance with children using Rodney so Bold and provided inclusive performance opportunities with a large scale version of Barnstaple Fair.
Pupils were able to play a range of instruments, dance and experience material from the community they study in.
