We are pleased to announce that the Sensory Room was officially opened by Fred Lane - SEND Provision Evaluation Officer on Tuesday 15th September. A couple of children came along as well as members of the PTA who have kindly helped fund it. We hope that specific children with needs, who will be timetabled to use the room, will benefit in a number of ways from this amazing resource. Please contact the SENDCo, Miss Walsh or the Pastoral Support Worker, Mrs Spocchia for further information.

World Autism Awareness Week

For the World Autism Awareness Week (27 March - 2 April) one of our pupils, Jared created a Presentation and Video for the rest of the school to watch during Assembly and Class time.

Everything that Jared talks about is in his own words and he was very pleased to have had the opportunity to share his voice with us all.

We are all very proud of his achievements.
