Pond Meadow Library
We are lucky enough to have a lovely Pond Meadow library which all our students have access to. The library includes books for younger students to enjoy with adults, as well as guided and independent reading books. Just one of the ways we aim to foster a love of reading and books in our students. The library has recently been reorganised, so that pupils can use a check-in and out system and search for books independently. A BIG thank you to our parent volunteer Ziba, for completing this project alongside our Literacy Lead, Natalie.

Last week Primrose Class were very excited to take part in a Moonbeam theatre production. Moonbeam creates multisensory theatre for young people with special educational needs and/or profound and multiple learning disabilities. They told a story of friendship and support through a multisensory story. Our favourite part was the sparkly costumes and the lovely sounding bowls!
We'd like to thank @moonbeamtheatre for creating such a special session, as well as Gordon and Ann at the Children With Special Needs foundation for funding the performance.

Last Friday, we celebrated a magical evening at our End of Year Prom, bringing together our fantastic school leavers and their friends from Post-16 for a joyful send-off.
We danced the night away alongside students and staff from local schools, shared plenty of laughter, and enjoyed a delicious buffet together. The room was full of smiles, sparkles, and special moments as everyone made memories that will last a lifetime.
It was a wonderful way to say goodbye to our amazing leavers as they prepare for their next steps. We are so proud of everything they have achieved and will miss them dearly.
Wishing all our leavers happiness, success, and friendship in all that lies ahead.

On your marks…. Get set…. GO!
We had such a fun Sports Day last week! It’s wonderful to see the students enjoying games together outside.
Our primary students took part in games, like the egg and spoon race, relay race, mini hurdles and an obstacle course. The secondary students did a variety of races and athletic events on the meadow and playground. All the students received certificates for their hard work and participation.

Guildford in Bloom Awards
One of our students and staff member attended the Guildford in Bloom ceremony held at Edwin’s Garden Centre. They had a lovely time celebrating the success of our school garden alongside other local schools and were thrilled to receive a Gold Award for our beautiful Butterfly Patch Garden!
As a token of appreciation, @guildfordnbloom kindly presented us with a £25 voucher and a lovely gardening book.
A big thank you to everyone who donated and supported our garden project—your hard work truly made this achievement possible!
