Neurodiversity

At RPNS, we strive to create an inclusive community where everyone feels valued and supported. As part of this commitment, we celebrate neurodiversity, recognising and appreciating the unique gifts, strengths, and perspectives that each person brings to our school.

Recently, we hosted our Celebrating Neurodiversity Week, during which each class explored, researched, discussed, and reflected on topics relating to neurodiversity and neurodivergence. The children discovered and shared many fascinating facts, and teachers were so impressed by their insights, curiosity, and understanding , as well as by what many pupils already knew!

To further support our community, we have created a Pathways to Support document which outlines a range of neurodivergent profiles. This document provides information on how families can access additional support through external agencies. You can access this by clicking on the pdf link, here:
