@the_atlp @ATLP_SG_central @BPS_B23 @OsbornePriSch Miss Wallen is back with two new Makaton signs. We have some new friends joining us this half term and wanted to be able to ‘welcome’ them and check on them with ‘how are you?’💜#Makaton #communicatingwithfriends

Looking forward to a positive person centered EHCP review @BPS_B23 celebrating the progress of the most amazing student. We’ve even added a little bit of fairy light to the proceedings to punctuate the gloom outside today 💙 ⭐️ 🖊️ @the_atlp
