Futures Week

During March we held our first Futures Week. This week is a celebration of our own identities - what we are good at, what we enjoy - and how we can use our skills in the future. We shared a variety of jobs and career paths with the children and played guess who with staff former jobs.

Our Class Names

Our classes are named after inspirational people from our community - both in Nottingham and in the autistic world. We love it when they can visit or message us.
