17th – 23rd March is Neurodiversity Celebration Week. It offers an ideal opportunity for pupils and education staff to explore and celebrate the many ways people think, learn, and communicate. Neurodiversity refers to the diversity of human minds. This includes the differences between how people think, process information, behave and communicate. These differences should be recognised, understood, respected, and celebrated.
The following link contains different resources and information for parents/carers, children and education staff.

WINTER WELLBEING
Winter Wellbeing Toolkit
The festive season is usually associated with joy, happiness and celebration, but for some it may not always be a positive time. The shorter days, colder temperatures and the pressures associated with this time of year can negatively impact our wellbeing, and it can be easy to forget to look after ourselves.
Here are some links to activities and ideas that can help with children’s (and adults!) emotional wellbeing.
