Parent Events and Information
Throughout the year we hold various events for parents and carers, some of which are whole school events and some are specific to your child's class. Please ask your child's class teacher for further details. We also recognise that for some parents, getting into school can be a challenge for a number of reasons and therefore we have included the following details for online videos and resources that may support you at home.
Online training videos/resources that parents and carers may find helpful:
STARS (Specialist Training in Autism and Raising Standards)
The videos are bite-sized practical resources designed for parents and carers of school aged children and young people, covering a range of topics that parents and carers have indicated are important to them. Each video will have an associated resource pack.
