AND no polyester or any other icky fabric in uniforms, comfy jumpers, plain t-shirts, and joggers/leggings and trainers for all.

An outside time curriculum that maps across all subjects so all students get to be outside meaningfully interacting with nature every week.
Physical education becoming choice based, any sport or activity a school can do counts towards PE, from weight lifting to football, tasters to help kids pick!

Increase break and lunch time and give meaningful spaces and activities for students and teachers during that time. Cut the number of formal assessment points per year group down to 1 per year. Have students end the day with their form tutor and parents can collect at the door and speak to the FT…

Can someone help please?
How do we get seen on here?
None of my posts are being looked at. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Any advice would be gratefully received.
Thank you 😁

Agreed! Until the pastoral system of a school is inclusive, the entire school is not inclusive, and that’s why a lot of children who could do well in mainstream would prefer to be out of it.

These are amazing and have you seen all the hints for Rep TV vault tracks too 👀👀

Thanks so much Katie this is great!

I guess my rescue is a boxer based on this 🤣

Or a special interest thing to do. I memorise stats, just because they’re sports related doesn’t make it any less dorky!

School refusal is also an outdated term, EBSA is better, and a good article here on why the language matters and how our trauma based response options open up:

I mean it’s the mail… 🤣 probably mentioned liking the dictionary at 11.
Also, that many A and A* a-levels… probably did know better than some of her teachers?
Kids want to be in school, those who school refuse are doing it because they don’t feel safe, wanted, or supported. Usually neurodivergent.
