Home Education Programme

Here at Inspire Youth Arts (IYA) we have an award winning team with over 25 years experience of delivering high quality and innovative arts provision. All our work is delivered with professional artists and support staff. Young people are at the heart of everything we do and we believe that every young person should have the opportunity to access the highest quality arts, explore their own capabilities and have the chance to take their arts journey as far as they want to.

In partnership with Mansfield Palace Theatre we are very pleased to be able to offer an arts programme specifically for Home Educated children and young people.
