A huge thank you to the group of senior pupils who helped out yesterday afternoon by clearing out, sorting and organising our PE equipment - look how today that cupboard is!

We are so excited that our communication boards have finally been installed in the playground. Thank you to

So proud of this young man! He usually only goes to sit on the bench. Today he was brave enough to try all of the different equipment. He used Makaton beautifully throughout too!
