What a fun collaborative art project!
Everyone gets to create a tiny little art piece to pop in a bottle cap and all together it makes this glorious hair!!

The number of children and young people in B&NES needing support with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) has been steadily rising. To help our families and to reduce expensive out-of- area placements we’ve set out our next steps to invest in high-quality provision and support children and young people with SEND and those vulnerable pupils requiring Alternative Provision.

If we want children to be successful at reading and writing, we need to let them be successful at exploring and playing first.

Play builds the brain for problem solving, focus, creativity and regulation skills.

We’re increasing specialist education places for children and young people with SEND to ensure more pupils can access the support they need closer to home. Last year, the Department for Education gave councils a choice: continue with planned special or Alternative Provision free schools, or take capital funding to create the same number of places through local provision.

After carefully reviewing the options, we're moving ahead with a new 130‑place Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) free school at Bitham Park in Westbury and investing the funding directly into expanding specialist places countywide. This will provide high-quality support and benefit more children and young people across the county.
