Electric Umbrella for Schools

Electric Umbrella

for Schools

Electric Umbrella’s Education Programme for both SEND and mainstream schools delivers a range of curriculum music & EDI workshop and performance opportunities along with a set of digital teaching resources, which can be used alongside, or as a standalone resource for schools beyond our geographical area.


What makes us different is that everything is delivered by our amazing learning disabled crew members alongside our team of professional musicians.

Whilst our individual workshops challenge perceptions, reduce prejudice and increase acceptance, the impact of regular visits can support the development of a truly inclusive culture in your school.


Your students, and staff, will never have seen role models like our rockstar members!

What people are saying about Electric Umbrella's Education programmes:

 "The staff were moved to tears at one point and then laughing at other times. The children of all ages were spellbound...We have a wide range of children with different needs at our school and they were all engaged. The staff loved how all the performers interacted and the children enjoyed being part of such a fun session."

"We loved it all. The children were thrilled to experience live music and important conversations were opened up. The messages about inclusivity that your team delivered were so important."

"It was very heartwarming and provided an amazing message. My class have been singing the songs and have formed their own band this week since seeing the performance!"

 "The children were wary (and quiet) at first but could soon see that learning disabilities are nothing to be frightened of. They were thoroughly engaged and enjoyed every moment!" 

 "[The Session] got them talking. There was some feedback about visitors that were 'weird' and obviously we spoke at length with the children who used that language to shift and evolve their thinking/fears.  The VITAL aspect of your work with us was that this conversation happened and the issue and feeling of our children were raised and highlighted (so that they could be targeted in a focused way)."

 "It opened up important conversations and allowed the children to receive important messages about celebrating individuality."

 "Your workshop was amazing, truly inspirational and engaged over 800  children. Thank you!"

"I...cannot praise your team enough. It was a phenomenal experience enjoyed by the whole school - Nursery through to Year 6 - and the positive message was inspiring. We definitely want to do the same sort of thing next year and I will be directing my School Council towards promoting your charity as one of our fundraisers. In the words of the children, it was awesome!"
