A visit this week from Sam and Alex - disabled twins with SMA - Spinal Muscular Atrophy. They talked to us about having a positive outlook on life, resilience and overcoming barriers. Meeting inspirational people allows us to make lasting memories #TheArboretumWay @TwinsWithSMA

Introducing our pupils to different cultures and their celebrations builds respect for all.

MP @BaggyShanker visited us last week and spent time with school council. He then met with the Arboretum debate team to give advice on their debate topic: Should children be given the right to vote? Grateful that have the opportunity to meet inspirational people. #TheArboretumWay

We had a lovely visit from Cecile Wright this week. She talked about her life and the work she is doing now as a councillor. She has invited our pupils to send in their ideas to improve a local park. Another great opportunity for our pupils. #TheArboretumWay @CecileWrightSD

We met Derby Royal hospital's mascot Lambie today. She came to collect a cheque for £150 that we had raised. School council ran a treat sale. Our money means that the sensory equipment for the children's outpatient's department can now be bought!

We want our children to make a positive difference. Today, our school council ran a treat shop and raised £140 to build a sensory unit in the children's ward at Royal Derby hospital. We continue to be proud of our pupils, their ideas and their effort. #TheArboretumWay

Sharing our vision and our ‘why’ is so important. We want our children to live life in all its fullness. #DDAT #TheArboretumWay
