Kineton High School teachers and staff tried out origami to test their communication skills.
The exercise was part of the school's 'communication friendly environment' project, which aims to make all ways of communicating, from sign language to lesson structures, more user-friendly for all involved.
The origami sessions involved teachers being set a piece to complete but receiving different degrees of instruction and help, to encourage them to communicate in the clearest way. Some 50 members of staff tried out many activities in the one day training course and will receive ongoing coaching and support.
The project covers all aspects of the school environment as well as learning processes.
Kineton headteacher Julia Morris said: "Enabling everyone to feel welcome and to flourish as a valued member of the community is very important to us. We welcome this opportunity to learn how we can make sure our school is even more communication-friendly."
