Autism in Schools Project
Our school is participating in a national project run by the NHS called Autism in Schools. This project aims to improve the outcomes of children and young people with special educational needs. Staff have signed up to a robust and exciting training schedule and nationally schools are working with parent carer forums in different ways to try to achieve this.
Our school is working closely with North Tyneside Parent Carer Forum to establish a peer-to-peer network within school. This is an opportunity for parents of children with special educational needs to share experiences, offer support and develop a voice to make positive changes for their children. We regularly host coffee mornings in school so please look out for flyers telling you when the next one will take place.
