Autism Accreditation - Clare Mount
As part of the process for our Autism Accreditation assessment, we are obliged to carry out a survey for autistic people, their families and other professionals, if applicable.
This will take the form of an on-line survey and takes only a few minutes to complete and in order to assist you in completion, a text containing the link will be sent to Parents/ Carers on Monday 20th January 2020.
We would be very grateful if you would complete this survey as it will not only assist our accreditation, but also inform our practices in working with children with autism in school.
Should you have any queries or comments regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me via the School Office.
Thanking you in advance of your assistance.
Yours faithfully,
T. Rowland,
Assistant Headteacher

Sixth form answer the question 'What happens to the things we recycle?'
Thu 09 Jan 2020A few months ago one of our pupils asked ‘what happens to the things that we recycle?’ To find out our 6th form visited Gilmoss Recycling Discovery Centre in Liverpool. We started off in the learning centre working out what can and can’t be recycled. We then learned about how far the different materials have to travel to be recycled. We looked at the different machinery that they use to do the recycling. We saw the engineers working on some of the machines and we even met an elephant made of recycled materials. We had a great morning, Thanks to Kirsty at Gilmoss.
