We have been advised that there has been some changes in the delivery of non-assessed community short breaks in Easington. Gateway North East will no longer be delivering breaks in these areas on behalf of the Local Authority. Families who feel that they are in need of a non-assessed short break, but are unable to access one from the local offer should contact the commissioning service who will gather your information and look to arrange something suitable for you.

You can do this on 03000 266837 or e-mail AHS.commissioning@durham.gov.uk

Some great discussion and enthusiasm tonight from staff in our Autism working group. Staff have been reviewing and introducing new strategies to support our young people over the last academic year and we are now moving into phase two of our Academy Autism Strategy. We have been working closely with colleagues at Durham Local Authority to ensure our work aligns with the new ‘Think Autism’ strategy for County Durham. Find out more at the link below

The Think Autism strategy is a local strategy for children, young people and adults on the autism spectrum. It provides focus and clarity on the priorities for improving services and opportunities for these people and to improve support during the transition from childhood through to adulthood.

Buzzing atmosphere around the academy this morning as everyone settles into the new academic year. Great to see Dunelm and Claypath classes fully engaging in our new session for Key Stage 3 this year Community Citizens. This session encompasses Personal, Social and Health Education, Young Leaders Award and Independent Travel Training, ensuring all of our pupils' are effectively prepared for adulthood. Both classes were getting straight out into the community to fulfil their role as active citizens.

Great link to Article 23 of United Nations Rights of the Child
A child with a disability has the right to live
a full and decent life with dignity and, as far
as possible, independence and to play an
active part in the community. Governments
must do all they can to support disabled
children and their families.

It was a pleasure to welcome Richard Crane, Head of Education and Skills from Durham Local Authority today along with students from Villa Real and The Oaks. The purpose of the visit was to join students from Hope Wood Academy student voice group to discuss and debate things that are important to them as young people of County Durham. All the young people were fully engaged in the session and had their voices and opinions listened to and heard. Thanks to Richard and our other visitors for such a productive and interesting session. We look forward to working together in the future.
