Last Autumn, Hanbury CE First School was chosen to be involved in an exciting national project called Partnership for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools (PINS), and we'd like to hear your feedback.
PINS aimed to improve support for children with additional educational needs in mainstream first, primary and middle schools and was funded by NHS England and the Department of Education.
Worcestershire Parent Carer Forum (WPCF) has been responsible for working with Worcestershire families to gather their honest views and experiences of their children’s schools. They have done this by hosting 2 parent carer events at our school. Meanwhile, dozens of families have enjoyed making slime, creating worry dolls and sharing their experiences of SEND. In total, the group has spoken with more than 1200 families across Worcestershire and are grateful to everyone who contributed.
Alongside these activities, staff at school have been undertaking an extra 37 hours of SEND training from regional and national specialists in occupational therapy, autism, ADHD, mental health, child psychology, dyslexia, sensory environments, coproduction and pupil voice.
The final step in PINS is for parent carers to again have their say. What is working well at school? And what remain as areas for improvement?
To achieve this, WPCF are asking ALL parents and carers at Hanbury CE First School to complete a short final survey.
The survey is anonymous and the results will only be seen by the Parent Carer Forum. However, the themes of the results will be used to help the project to understand Hanbury CE First School’s strengths and remaining areas for improvement.
The survey is open until Tuesday 31st March 2026. Click here to complete the survey.
