On Monday morning, our Pre-Formal classes had a blast at our Sensory Sports Day! Our students explored a sensory circuit with different coloured themes, using all their senses to experience each colour zone. We wrapped up the fun with exciting parachute games.
We are very proud of students in our VI life skills group! They hosted an afternoon tea for family members and it was a huge success. The students utilised the skills they had learned in the group to plan and prepare for the event. Well done!
Thank you so much to all the parents/carers who came to our Formal Pathway trampoline workshop last week. We are so proud of our students and the progress they have made physically, developing confidence, turn taking and following a range of instructions. Well done!
A magical evening at Prom 2024!✨
Students, families and staff had an incredible time together, everyone looked amazing and lots of fun was had as they danced the night away.

Vision For Education kindly organised a competition for schools to design a poster, make a model or something else which is pony inspired. Classes got creative and we are delighted to share that we WON! Looking forward to a visit from a Therapy Pony during Autumn Term.
Well done to our Formal and Sixth Form Pathway for their resilience and efforts during their Sports Day this afternoon. A big thank you to our parents/carers for supporting the event and apologies for the ‘typical’ sports day weather.
