Message from our Chair, Lee Garner:
A massive thank you to all those who are supporting vulnerable children in AP. It’s such a challenging time, but you’re all working hard to make sure children get the education they’re entitled to. You deserve this half term. #thisisAP
Our Chair, Lee Garner, recently visited @carr_manor and their newly opened ASC resourced provision; meeting teachers & support staff who provide daily care, education, health and therapy for children with an Autistic Spectrum Condition.
Pleased that LAPA were able to support this new primary AP school in East Leeds with some furniture to get it ready for the first cohort of KS2 children. Thanks @CarlWHarrison
Very exciting day. We got the keys to our new school building for KS2 students with SEMHD and/or ASC who need extra therapeutic and nurture intervention. Due to open Autumn Term 2020. Let the fun commence and the adventure continue. #proud@Pivot_Team@clotherington1
@LeedsregionAP @Thelma_DWalker What a wonderful image of some truly inspiring and dedicated professionals all with one passion and vision about the lives of our most vulnerable and seldom heard children and young people. See you all next week #inclusion
