We have been approached by Attend Well who are running a study which aims to make schools an inclusive place for EVERYONE regardless of disability. We have heard your voices and know this is a massive issue in Middlesbrough so please consider taking part in the survey, sharing your experiences and views and help make the education system inclusive to everyone.

What a busy week back after half term.
Thankyou so much to all our parents and carers who attended our stay & play yesterday.
I hope you all found it beneficial talking to Sue from the health visiting team and Sophie from the parent carer forum.
Thankyou ladies for supporting our assessment offer - providing support to children and their families.
Our hearts were full with one parent comment which is too amazing not to share

“you are helping me become a better parent with the strategies you are suggesting” 🥹♥️

Have a lovely weekend everyone x
