Family Information and FOPHS News Friday 28th March 2025
This week has been a busy one for me, starting with a parent coffee afternoon on Tuesday. Sometimes these are busy; this one was quiet but some good conversations around progression happened. We had a visitor from the NEAS (North East Autism Society) who works with schools. Thursday was the first of the bookable drop in sessions for parents with me. I hope these are useful. Today is the annual Mother鈥檚 Day sale organised by the Student Council. The response was fantastic, lots of beautiful gifts donated and the social area was a hive of activity this morning. Thanks to everyone who supported, and I hope that, if you receive a gift on Sunday that you love it. To all our mothers Happy Mother鈥檚 Day on Sunday.

I love this variation of a quote and, as it is Mother鈥檚 Day on Sunday it seems apt. I truly believe that my SEN journey made me a better person. Have as wonderful a day as is possible
鈥淢otherhood is about raising and celebrating the child you have, not the child you thought you would have. It鈥檚 about understanding that he/she is exactly the person he/she is supposed to be and that, if you鈥檙e lucky, he/she just might be the teacher who turns you into the person you are supposed to be.鈥�
