With the staff team splintering from a lack of leadership following the long term illness\, and then death\, of their Headteacher\, attendance and outcomes were low and behaviour was not good amongst both the children and the adults. \nBut Ripple has now proclaimed itself to be an ‘Emotionally Available School’ and a recent visitor\, consulting on the SENDAP Review for the DfE\, has recently written to say: \n“At a time of negativity around SEND and inclusion\, you and your school are a beacon of hope and proof it can be done. It seems like this is your time to take your ideas to the world. We certainly need them.” \n  \n<\n\n \n\n\nRegister now URL:https://community.opogo.com/event/emotionally-available-schools/ CATEGORIES:Behavior Management,Mental Health,Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://community.opogo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Emotionally-Available-Schools-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250325T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250325T170000 DTSTAMP:20260525T091310 CREATED:20240917T152817Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241120T105252Z UID:14057-1742918400-1742922000@community.opogo.com SUMMARY:Supporting Young People to Understand their Autistic Identity DESCRIPTION:Join us for an insightful and empowering webinar on March 25th from 4- 5pm.
