Extra-Curricular Classes - In Schools

Our clubs are hands-on, fun, and educational, giving children the chance to develop cooking skills, confidence, and independence in a supportive setting.

With a catalogue of four years’ worth of recipes, children make something new every week - switching between savoury and sweet dishes - while mastering essential kitchen skills like weighing, chopping, creaming, and kneading.

What’s included for the children:
A recipe prepared each session
All ingredients provided, including dietary substitutions (gluten-free, dairy-free, etc.)
Aprons to borrow
Laminated recipe card with a healthy message
Packaging to take their creations home

“Such a popular extracurricular activity, extremely well organised; they are run by dedicated, enthusiastic staff who are educating our children in cookery skills and widening their horizons! First Class!” Rob Harmer, Headteacher at St Marys School, Henley-on-Thames

School Holiday Workshops

Are you looking for a fun and educational activity for your child during the holidays? Look no further! Our holiday workshops are designed to inspire young cooks while having fun in the kitchen.

Guided by our friendly and experienced Smart Raspberry cookery teachers, children will gain valuable skills in food preparation, cooking techniques, kitchen safety and of course presenting their dishes nicely. Our workshops are often themed recipes from a particular country, season, festival or occasion and are age appropriate. We have regular breaks throughout the day and offer additional activities such as colouring in, foodie quizzes and games especially for the younger age groups. At the end of the day, everyone can take their creations home to impress friends and family with their new found skills

“My daughter had the Smart Raspberry cupcake party for her 8th birthday. It was fantastic and all the girls loved it – the cake making, the icing (with an animal theme) and eating the final product! One of her friends needed an egg-free version and her Mum said they were the best egg-free cakes she had ever tasted! I would thoroughly recommend Smart Raspberry for an exciting and hassle-free party” Karen, Parent

NLP, CBT, Hypnotherapy & counselling therapists for children & teens

At NLP4Kids we help children and their families overcome a vast range of problems. Typically these fall into the mild mental health and wellbeing areas such as anxiety, confidence issues, habits and phobias though we can help with more serious problems such as self harming, eating disorders and learning difficulties too.

Our practitioners are all DBS checked, insured and have undertaken first aid and safeguarding training. They work in schools and in the community delivering sessions one to one with young people and in workshops too. In addition, our practitioners attend retraining and have access to ongoing professional development.

Whilst we are not counsellors or psychotherapists, our work can be similar to these methodologies. NLP (neuro linguistic programming) has some similarity to CBT too, but tends to work on a more emotional (rather than just cognitive) level.

There are many different elements to NLP. Some of it works with our internal thinking and the quality of those thoughts. Other aspects of NLP focus on communication, managing emotions and developing better responses to challenging situations.

Many of our practitioners have trained in additional therapies, such as hypnotherapy.

As well as working with children and teenagers, we also work with parents and teachers or others who have influence and intervention with young people. This could be via workshops or in one to one coaching sessions.

Whether you are struggling to support a stressed out child or are finding it a challenge to engage your teenager in conversation, our practitioners are here to support you and your family. We always make sure that we create a good “fit” between the practitioner and the child and our free consultation sessions go a long way to ensure you find someone who will help you to achieve rapid lasting change.

Hi there! My name is Emma Shannon and I have loved art from a very young age. I qualified as a primary teacher in 2006 and soon discovered that, due to timetable restraints, there was not enough time dedicated to the arts at school. I was often seeing children with low confidence being taken out of a rare art lesson to do more maths and English.

I believe that we should value art as a subject more as being creative makes us feel good, increases our self confidence and helps us think in different ways.

As an artist and a teacher, it was the logical choice to bring my two passions together to create Go Sketch Club!

I believe in teaching children that there is no such thing as 'good art' and 'bad art', only art we like and don't like. Everyone likes different art! We celebrate 'mistakes' as 'opportunities' within the creative process.

Go Sketch Club aims to develop young artists into self confident, imaginative and creative thinking adults of tomorrow. What can we offer?
