Moonbeam Theatre immersive, multi sensory performance ‘Exploshine’ brought plenty of sparkle and sensory delights for our pupils, helping us celebrate individuality and reminding us to ‘𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒆’
On Monday, we wore our odd socks to mark the start of #AntiBullyingWeek, celebrating individuality and what makes us all unique.
Throughout the day, every child decorated a sock in their own style. These will make up a display to celebrate our uniqueness.

Odd Socks Day is all about having fun and celebrating what makes each of us unique. It’s a great opportunity to show off our individuality.
Thank you to Big Foot Education for delivering such an engaging and interactive session to our Formal Pathway.
The session was inspired by the true story of Floella Benjamin and her journey from Trinidad to London.
Pupils in Green 1 have worked incredibly hard across all areas of learning and have shown great enthusiasm in everything they do.
They especially loved taking part in our Halloween Sensology session — having lots of fun exploring, discovering, and using all their senses!
We had such a fantastic time hosting our autumn-themed Stay and Play session at the end of last term! 🎃🍂
It was lovely to see our parents getting stuck in with all the fun — from exploring pumpkin and biscuit sensory play to joining in our Bonfire Body Awareness session.
