C@LL is hosting an ONLINE session on Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE).

As the parent or carer of a child with special needs, you may dismiss RSHE as not relevant to you. The devastating truth is that those with special needs and disabilities are more likely to experience all kinds of abuse. But equally, understanding RSHE can help us all build better relationships with our children and young people.

The first part of the session will be information-sharing led by Teacher & RSHE Lead Sinéad Bevan, Occupational Therapy Lead Fiona Pringle, and Speech and Language Therapy Lead Megan Armstrong.

The second part of the session will be a Q&A.

Please fill out the pre-session survey here: https://forms.office.com/r/h0TZGxLeur

Please confirm attendance via Classlist or via communityatlindenlodge@gmail.com. We look forward to seeing you there!

Join us for a sensory Christmas baking and decorating session in the school holidays! The session will be run by Carola who is very familiar with the school and pupils.

- Pay £5 for a pupil place (C@LL is funding the rest)
- Attend with your child on the day or let them come with another family member/carer
- Let us know if they are bringing their brothers/sisters
- Stay on afterwards if you can, for mince pies, Xmas music and a chance to catch up with others and give your children lunch if needed
