🚨 URGENT: SEND Rights Debate This Monday 🚨

This Monday, September 15th, MPs will debate protecting legal rights for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

📅 What's at stake: The Government may change the Children and Families Act 2014, potentially removing statutory duties from local authorities to provide assessment and support for SEND children.
💔 Why this matters: Without these legal protections, vulnerable children could miss out on vital educational support they desperately need to reach their potential.
👥 The fight continues:

Share to raise awareness among parents and carers

Support families affected by SEND challenges

Every child deserves the right to education and support. The decisions made on Monday could change everything for SEND families across the UK.

I really like the way this guy teaches strokes and breaks them down into simple parts. He's fun, clear and kind of cool. I think the kids will like watching these videos - and you can break them down into sections. If you've watched one, let me know and we can then work with it in the lesson.

In this video, you will learn the backstroke swimming technique for beginners. This is an easy 3 steps technique. You will learn backstroke breathing drills,...

WAITING LIST: If you have signed up via our registration link, then rest assured you will be added on to our waiting list. Having only just returned to lessons this week, top on our list of things to do is send an email to everyone on our waiting list to see if you're still interested. And also to make you aware of adhoc lessons that appear on FB occasionally. As it is just me and Amy - my wonderful book-keeper, and now upgraded to secretary/PA (and therapist), we sadly cannot reply to every message that comes through as we are inundated with messages daily. It is rare for a customer to leave once they have a place, and the only time a place becomes available is when I expand my hours and times. The good news, is because of this high demand, I am now training up two teachers, meaning more availability over the next few months (probably not until after Christmas).

So keep an eye out for an email from Amy :)

And here is the link for registration:
