Primary Inclusion Parent Survey

 

Dear Parent/ Carer 
 
Great News!
 
Broadford Primary is one of the schools that has been selected to take part in the national Partnership for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools (PINS) Project.
 
This project has been created due to the success of the national Autism in Schools project. The approach of PINS has been developed around the key principles of the Autism in Schools:
·        Whole School Approach
·        Good quality training for staff
·        Parents Supporting Parents groups
·        Understanding students experience of schools
 
Partnerships for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools (PINS) will bring health and education specialists and expert parent carers into mainstream primary settings to:
·        Help shape whole school SEND provision
·        Provide early interventions at a school level
·        Upskill school staff
·        Support strengthening of partnerships between schools and parent carers
 
As a parent forum we will be working with Health, Education and your school to support parents and we hope to take part/run coffee mornings and parent learning sessions with your school during the new school year.
 
To be able to do this we really need your help! In order for the Project Group to understand better the needs for each school, please could you take a few minutes to complete the survey below.
 
 
Or use the QR code

This is a whole school survey, not just for those with neurodivergent children. We very much welcome all viewpoints.
 
Best wishes

Repost: NSPCC’s Speak out. Stay safe. programme, Summer 2024

 Dear Parent/Carer

NSPCC’s Speak out. Stay safe. programme, Summer 2024

I am pleased to inform you that we are participating in the NSPCC’s Speak out. Stay safe. Programme this term. Speak out. Stay safe. is a programme for children aged 5-11 which aims to help children understand abuse in all its forms and to recognise the signs of abuse. Children are taught to speak out if they are worried, either to a safe adult or Childline.

This child friendly programme is aligned with the curriculum and consists of age appropriate virtual assemblies and supporting classroom based activities which we have reviewed, alongside NSPCC volunteer led face to face workshops for children aged 6-7 and 9-11. The content is delivered in an engaging and interactive way with the help of the NSPCC mascot Buddy. If you would like to know more about the Speak out. Stay safe. programme visit www.nspcc.org.uk/speakout

Virtual assemblies for all pupils in Y1 to Y6: w/c 17th June 2024

Follow up lessons for all pupils in Y1 to Y6: w/c 24th June 2024

Workshops for pupils in Y2, Y5, Y6: Tuesday 2nd July 2024

Feedback survey for pupils aged 7-11

The NSPCC would like to gather feedback from pupils aged between 7-11 about the Speak out. Stay safe. programme to gauge their learning. This will be voluntary and children can still take part in the programme if they don’t take part in the survey. 

·         All survey questions are multiple choice and focussed on the programme.

·         The survey is anonymous and confidential.  However, if in the process of completing the survey, a teacher becomes concerned for a pupil’s welfare (e.g., through something a pupil says) we will follow our school’s safeguarding procedures.

·         If you do not want your child to take part in the survey, please email your year group email box. 

·         If you have agreed that your child can take part in the survey but your child changes their mind on the day, that is also okay.
