Today is the last day of a fabulous school year! Our students have grown, achieved and shone in so many ways — and our incredible staff have been beside them every step. To our Pond Meadow community: thank you. Your support, kindness and encouragement mean so much. Have a wonderful summer — we’ll see you back on 7 September. School closes at 2pm today. #PondMeadow #specialschool #summer #schoolsout #equipforlife #specialneeds #specialchildren #send #sendteacher #sensoryplay #sensorylearning #autismawareness #communicationskills #makaton #speechandlanguage #autism #autismclassroom #asd #playislearning #handsonlearning #therapyanimals #animalsasleaders #community

As another fantastic school year comes to a close, we were proud to celebrate some of our Post-16 students as they prepare for their next adventures. Our Leavers’ Graduation Assembly was a very special occasion, celebrating how much each student has grown and the wonderful impact they have had on our school community. We are incredibly proud of all they have achieved and wish them every success and happiness as they begin the next chapter of their journey. Good luck — we will miss you all! #PondMeadow #leaversassembly #graduationassembly #post16 #proudmoment #schoolcommunity #equipforlife #specialschool #send #specialeducation

BUILDING UPDATE: The Edge, where learning meets life. We are so excited that our new KS 3,4 & 5 building is this far! Also known as The Edge, this building will provide opportunities for learners to put their skills into practice, building independence and preparing for successful futures. Walk with one of our teachers as she takes you on a tour, through the corridor, in one of the classrooms and the new staffroom. Within this building there will also be a new cafe, a library and a student office. @beard.construct #PondMeadow #specialschool #equipforlife #specialneeds #upgrades #building #newbuilds #specialchildren #send #specialeducation #community
