Christmas Concert

The Christmas Concert was a great success this year.  There were some fantastic performances from the school choir, the band, members of Stage Right and G2, along with lots of celebration of the successes of the term.  we also said a sad farewell to members of staff, and we wish them well in their new ventures. It was the biggest turnout for parents and carers, so our thanks go out to all of you who attended.  We may need to find a new venue as our numbers expand!  A few pictures show how much all the students enjoyed this great event.  Thank you to everyone for making it such a success.

Ashleigh - Downing Street

Last term, I wrote a story using my Tellus* called The Big Fight. It was about my friend Georgina and I fighting over the pop star Shayne Ward. I entered my story in a competition and was invited to a reception at 10 Downing Street! I went with my mum and Katie from school on a minibus. The reception was to raise awareness for people who use communication aids. Alistair Darling, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and his wife were there. I spoke to them using my Tellus. It was lovely inside and I wish I could live there. We heard other people telling stories using their communication aids. It was a really good evening out.

* A Tellus is an aid, which allows Ashleigh to communicate with others.
