BUILDING WORKS
There is some exciting progress on our expansion project! Our new building, featuring six classrooms, an ICT suite and an on-site community café, is really starting to take shape. All groundwork is complete, and with windows and doors now going in, things are moving at speed so watch this space!
Each week we are one step closer to enhanced facilities that will further support our students!

MINI MEADOWS
If you have a pre-school child with SEN (or one who is on the pathway to diagnosis), Mini Meadows Stay and Play sessions are just for you!
We have created a wonderful environment, where we model strategies used at Pond Meadow. Children enjoy free play, structured play and a complimentary snack, while parents can enjoy a safe space to meet other parents.
Thanks to @theknightsfoundation’s funding, Mini Meadow sessions run every Wednesday (term time) from 10.00 to 11.30 am at Waverly Family Support Centre at Loselyfields.

Our wonderful therapy dogs are working on their PAWS qualification to make sure they are trained to support our students.
Did you know that Animal-Assisted Therapy can promote increased participation, reduce anxiety, improve self-esteem and self-confidence? We are so grateful to have Jax, Pepper and Maddie as part of our team.

RSPB Birdwatch
We are joining the world’s largest garden wildlife survey to help build a better picture of how our local birdlife is doing. This year, we identified and compared different garden birds, counted the number of birds we saw, and recorded our findings using tick and tally charts.
This activity supports our students to develop observation skills, communication, early maths and an understanding of the natural world, all while engaging with a meaningful real-life project. What an exciting project to take part in and see which feathered visitors appeared in our school grounds!

Our learners have a wonderful time connecting with the horses at Cranleigh RDA!
Through riding and walking the horses around the paddock, they practice listening, communication, and learning important words like “go” and “stop.”
They also take part in caring for the horses by brushing them and learning about their needs.
These special moments build confidence, responsibility, and joyful connections with animals — smiles all around!
