Our latest effort involves a specially written song which is performed by Millie Turner and The Ravens Choir.

Staff and students were involved in writing, singing and making the music.  Lots of our students rang bells, played drums and chimes.

 

Please follow the QR code and download the track.  All money raised is going towards our Life Skills Caravan Project.

We are trying to buy a static caravan which is accessible and we can adapt to support our students to learn independence skills.

Christmas Lights

One of our learners' family have been supporting us to raise money for this project, by decorating their house with Christmas lights 2024.  This year they raised £27,000 which is amazing.   Thank you to the Grange family and everyone who visited and donated we are all thrilled by the generosity..

 

 

 People came from far and wide, some from as far away as Denmark.  The display was highlighted on Good Morning TV with a live weather broadcast.

      

Painting and Decorating

Thank you to parents who joined us to help decorate parts of the school after the heating installation.  We appreciate the 

 effort and time that you spared on the hottest days of the year. Thank you Nicola, Kevin and Mark, hopefully you enjoyed yourselves and had a chance to meet and chat over lunch.

Thank you also to Dominic out IT Strategic Lead who also gave up some days off to held decorate.

 

We have raised nearly £8,000 to help fund an outdoor sensory tunnel

 

Thank you to everyone who has donated so generously and thank you especially to the Grange family who decorated their house for Christmas 2023 and brought in the donations.

We are now developing our outdoor sensory tunnel for our learners with severe learning needs and many who are non-verbal and have limited mobility. 

Our current tunnel was really basic and learners were not using it as much as we would have liked. 

The sensory tunnel will really benefit our learners as we can display different sensory materials. We are hoping to have different textures displayed, for those who want to use their hands to touch. Different lights displayed, so they can look around at the different colour lights using natural sunlight. For those who like to listen to sounds, we are hoping to have different sounds available and for our smell sense, we would love to have different plants for the learners to smell. The tunnel will be wheelchair friendly, so all learners can access the available features.

We are expanding the project thanks to the fantastic total raised, including improvements to other outside spaces too.
