The PINs Project
Callicroft Primary Academy will be working in partnership with the South Glos Council and South Glos Parent Carers on the 'PINS Project'. This project is funded by the NHS in collaboration with the DfE and will bring investment to Tyndale to help us make the learning environment even more inclusive than it already is.
What is Neurodiversity?
We understand that 'neurodiversity' is not a word that is referred to daily, and we want to keep things as simple as possible so that you're fully aware of how this project will benefit your child and Tyndale's ability to support them.
‘Neurodiversity’ means that humans are all different in how we think, feel and learn. That’s because all our brains process information in different ways.
Types of neurodivergence include autism, dyslexia, attention deficit disorder (ADHD), Tourette’s syndrome, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, language disorder, social communication disorder and more. Sometimes people can have neurodivergent traits caused by other things.
How can Parents/Carers be involved?
Firstly, we’d love it, if you have a SEND child or not, if you would share your views by completing this form.
Your feedback will be used to inform the project and it will also influence how we will be supported by South Glos to improve our inclusivity at Callicroft Primary Academy.
Parents and Carers Questionnaire
Secondly, as important stakeholders of the school, we want parents to be involved in this project too!
Update - October 2023
We are pleased to inform you that, as a result of the pupil and parent surveys which were taken as a part of the PINS Project, we can now share with you which organisations we will be working with to improve provision at Callicroft for all pupils:
1. Help parents to feel heard by the school
2. Building/ enabling a safe/quiet space for children to regulate and thrive
3. A 360 approach to distressed behaviours training
4. Supporting school staff to increase their understanding of differing language needs for neurodiverse children.
Second Parent Meeting - 14h October at 1.30pm ONLINE
We always want parents and carers to be a part of our school improvement work. Please come along to our Second Parent Meeting for the PINS Project on Monday 14th October at 1.30pm ONLINE, where we will explore our work to support not just our neurodiverse learners, but all of our learners, and we'd love to hear your thoughts! We look forward to seeing you there.
