There has been such a wonderful aroma filling the corridor this week as our pupils made some soup. Great work everyone ☺️

Lewis has been accessing different shops over the course of this week, browsing items and making choices based on what he would like and what he thinks his friend would like. We love the dinosaur Lewis! 🦕🦖

Drama was a huge success this week, as always. Lots of smiles, movement and laughter in our sessions with Clare 😀

A huge thank you to everyone who supported our tea party and made it such a success. We raised £245 for MacMillan, the most we have raised. A huge thanks to our fantastic pupils and Liz who put in so much hard work to prepare them for selling. 🍰🎂

We were thrilled to welcome back Jack to our school yesterday who visited to tell us all about his academic successes since leaving school. Jack has completed his HND and Degree with 2:1 in Audio Production. We could not be more proud of you Jack if we tried! 👨‍🎓
