KS2 SEND Wheelchair Festival

A group of children from Key Stage 2 travelled to Carres Grammar School to take part in a SEND Wheelchair Festival.

Year 5/6 Bikeability

Some of the children from Badgers class took part in Level 2 Bikeability and were presented with their certificates and badges during Celebration Assembly.
The tutor's feed back was outstanding for the group. They reported that they were amongst the most polite children that they had ever worked with, and that their manners were impeccable. They had shown great listening skills, kindness, and resilience and it had been a pleasure to work with them. As a school it is always wonderful to hear that our pupils have represented their school in such a manner. We are very proud of them and of all that they have achieved. Well done!
