We welcome suggestions from parents, carers, staff and students themselves. We have already implemented many new strategies and initiatives which have included : Setting up a lending library of equipment to make home learning more accessible to all. Developing careers material for Key Stages 4 and 5 students. Further development of Speech and Language resources. Repeating some of the recreational activities following requests from parents and carers so as to further enhance student social and emotional skills. For example where the funding has been used to allow students to access extra-curricular activities the parents and carers have been able to see an improvement in their social interactions, their collaborative working, and their communication. These skills are then transferable into the classroom to improve their learning experiences. Copyright © 2016 Bradfields Academy School Website Design by e4education
