The Cube Disability Arts Academy

We opened Northamptonshire’s first dedicated arts academy for adults with learning disabilities in 2017 and haven’t looked back!

At The Cube Disability Arts Academy we embrace everyone’s talents and abilities, and the centre provides a space in which our clients can truly shine.

Those who attend the Arts Academy are given the opportunity to work towards nationally recognised Arts Award qualifications from Trinity College London.

Everyone is encouraged to show off their talents in every way they feel comfortable on our purpose-built dancefloor, and our costume cupboard is well-stocked so clients can transform themselves into whoever they want to be.

In 2021 the kitchen at the arts academy was re-fitted to become much more suitable for our clients, who now use it to cook together regularly.

Team Arts

We pride ourselves on appointing suitable trained staff. In line with current legislation, every member of staff is Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checked and was interviewed by our clients as part of our recruitment process.

Our Arts Academy is managed by our Arts Academy Centre Manager Siobhan Purtill, who has built strong relationships with our clients and their families/carers during their time at The Cube Disability. Siobham manages a team of dedicated support workers who consistently go above and beyond to help our clients. Jordan Goodenough is our Arts Director, who runs our daily classes and choreographs our show in September at Derngate.

Everyone works hard to ensure our clients get the best service.
