'Expert by Experience'
On Tuesday 11th November, year 5 and 6 welcomed Emma, an 'expert by experience', who gave an assembly on her experiences of going through primary and secondary school with autism, scoliosis, learning disabilities and social anxiety. She spoke to the children about what makes her different and the pros and cons of this. She spoke about her positive and negative experiences at school and how her role now is to help other children with special educational needs and disabilities to have a more positive schooling experience. The children listened really respectfully and asked some interesting questions at the end. A massive thank you to Emma for coming in and speaking to our pupils and teaching us lots of new information as well as reminding us that it's okay to be different.
