We've been blown away by the many lovely comments we've had on our recent Braithwell post! 🌟
Headteacher Gill has been reading your messages and she's over the moon to have so much support, which shows how vital specialist provision for autistic children and young people is.
For those who have emailed about our upcoming recruitment day, please bear with us! Our post has had a lot of interest so we're doing our best to get back to people as soon as we can.
Thank you again to those who have shown their support.
It means the absolute world to us. 💖
