We work closely with families to help find the right activity for your child and to ensure that the people who run the activity will meet the needs of your child so that it is a rewarding experience. We endeavour to keep you informed of inclusive activities going on in your area, and can also submit funding applications on your behalf.

There are a number of ways to find activities for your child: 

• Look out for regular emails and information in the home/school folders
• Check the notice boards in the Primary & Secondary departments
