Parents of our Gragewood School pupils enjoyed a well-deserved break – relaxing, recharging, and embracing the simple joy of fishing. It was a beautiful reminder of the power of nature and the importance of quiet moments for self-care. #schoolcommunity #inclusiveschools #send #Edencares

To celebrate International Tea Day, Moorcroft's School Council set a fun challenge – each class was asked to explore different teas by smelling, tasting, and voting for the best. Top choices? Irish Breakfast Tea and Berry Tea were the clear favourites!

Today is the UN International Day of Families, a day to celebrate the people who support, care for, and stand by us. Families come in many forms, each one unique and valuable. Let’s take a moment to appreciate the love, connection, and strength that families bring to our lives and communities.
