  World Wildlife Day

  We recently held a World Wildlife Day Assembly at school, where children had the opportunity to learn more about wildlife from around the world and the importance of looking after our planet.

   

  The assembly included some interesting talks and activities that helped raise awareness of environmental issues and the need for conservation. It was a great chance for the children to think about how they can contribute to protecting wildlife and the natural world.

  SEND Coffee Afternoon - A Warm Thank You!

  The Inclusion Team thoroughly enjoyed meeting with parents and carers at our recent SEND Coffee Afternoon. 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.

   

  Thank you to everyone who attended, and we look forward to seeing more of you at our next gathering!
