Sighted Guide Training Builds Confidence and Independence 

A big thank you to the staff members who stayed after school this week to take part in Sighted Guide training. The session gave staff the opportunity to learn valuable new skills to support one of our pupils in developing greater independence and confidence around school. 

The training was approached with positivity, trust and plenty of good humour, with staff fully embracing the experience and supporting one another throughout. It was wonderful to see such teamwork and commitment from everyone involved. 

We are incredibly proud of the dedication shown by our staff in continually developing their skills to meet the needs of all our pupils. 

Celebrating ASDAN Accreditation Success 

Congratulations to three of our pupils who have successfully achieved their ASDAN accreditation in Personal Progress. 

This is a fantastic achievement and reflects the hard work, determination and perseverance shown by the pupils throughout their learning journey. A huge thank you also goes to the staff team who supported and encouraged them every step of the way. 

The external report praised the provision highly, stating: 

“The centre is to be commended for the variety and scope of tasks which allowed the learners individual and personalised achievements.” 

We are extremely proud of this recognition and of the personalised opportunities provided to help every pupil succeed.
