Reaching high for the best for your child

Tourette's Awareness Week

By Robert Staples, Headteacher - Monday, 19 May 2014

The whole school have learnt all about Tourrette's Syndrome (TS) this morning.

Mr Staples led an assembly to explain what Tourette's is, all about 'tics' and we thought about how we can make life a little easier for people with Tourette's, by not teasing them and standing up for them if we see or hear bullying. The children showed a lot of sensitivity when they were thinking about what it must be like to have TS, and one child was exceptionally brave and spoke about their own experience. We all agreed that it is OK to be different... and it is OK if you have TS.

We are looking forward to the sun shining and wearing green on Friday for our Ticnic to help everyone understand more about Tourette's! Thanks to Miss King for organising our special week!
