Message from the Head teacher

Diversity week saw a range of learning and visitors into school. Two highlights were Dan
celebrating his success as a business man with ADHD running his own car leasing business,
and the author Andrea Bowker promoting her diversity books about being individual and
unique. Across the week we shared the importance of understanding our own individuality.
A diagnosis of additional needs is not an excuse for behaviour but a reason to know how to
support our individuals further and to help not only their futures but inform their peers
about others in their community to understand each other supportively.
Let’s embrace each other’s diversity on a daily basis.
