THE HEART OF OUR SCHOOL Our vision of equipping learners for life is the heart of what we do every day. It’s so rewarding to see our students thrive academically, but also in confidence, independence, and kindness, guided by our shared values of LEARNING, RESPECT, EQUALITY AND INDEPENDENCE. #PondMeadow #specialschool #equipforlife #specialneeds #specialchildren #send #sendteacher #specialeducation #pecsuk #specialeducationuk #earlylearning #community

Jax, Pepper and Maddie are our amazing school therapy dogs. They bring so much joy and comfort to our school! Over the summer, they spent lots of time playing outside, going for walks and practising their skills as support dogs. They did, however, miss our students and have been excited to be back at school. Some students in the school are training with @pawswellbeing and are thrilled to continue over the next few weeks. #PondMeadow #specialschool #equipforlife #specialneeds #specialchildren #send #communicationskills #makaton #speechandlanguage #autism #asd #playislearning #handsonlearning #therapyanimals #animalsasleaders #community

Jeans for Genes week! This week we are joining in on this lovely fundraising event to help make a difference for children affected by genetic conditions. This year is their 30th year celebration! On Friday, 19 September, pupils and staff can wear their jeans – donations are welcome. Students will participate in a range of activities included designing their own jeans and having their own fashion show. @jeans_for_genes #wearjeanschangelives #jeansforchange #PondMeadow #specialschool #equipforlife #specialneeds #specialchildren #send #community

PIZZA NIGHT After a successful first week back, why not enjoy a fun activity for tonight at home? Last term some of our students made pizza which was great fun! You could make your own dough from scratch (see recipe) or buy ready made dough or bases and just let everyone put their own toppings on. This can also be an opportunity to encourage new flavours, spend quality time together and of course eat something delicious! Recipe from @goodfoodeveryday.
