  ‘Delivering Special Provision Locally 3’ (DSPL3) SEND Coffee Morning - A Warm Thank You!

  The Inclusion Team thoroughly enjoyed meeting with professionals, parents and carers at the recent DSPL3 coffee morning held at Millfield. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect over a drink and a chat, and we hope it provided a relaxed space for discussions about support for our children.

   

  We would love to see even more of our families at future events like this, as it’s a great way to build strong partnerships and ensure we are working together to support the needs of all our children.

During today’s visit from PAWS, we concentrated on sustaining the 'Sit' and 'Down' commands, along with practicing 'Leave it'. Blue also was a superstar at picking up the command 'Through' which involved jumping through a hoop! Well done Blue!
