One brilliant display of teamwork from our students 👏

Five students took part in a KS4 Multi-Sports Event that consisted of Dodgeball, Handball and Kurling.

The event was organised by Notts Active. 🏀

The five students represented the school in a very positive manner, displayed great teamwork and played the game fairly and to the rules.

Their participation in these tournaments will go towards their evidence for OCR Entry Level PE or PE Life Skills Award accreditation. 🌟

Calling all creatives! 🎉

We're inviting artists, makers, craftspeople and entrepreneurs in the autistic community to join us on Zoom for our research on upcoming creative spaces. 🎨

This is an incredible opportunity to shape the future for autistic artists and creators, allowing them to have spaces where they feel supported.

Creating art doesn't always work in a board room. ❌
Like people, it has no fixed methods.

It can be anything: fashion, glass-blowing, sculptures, watercolours, anything! 💃

Empowering autistic voices within our communities has always been a central part of why we do what we do. Now, we want to support artists to feel empowered to be the artist they were born to be, doing what they love to do.

Leave your ideas/comments below, or join us on Zoom on 15 October at 6pm.
