Dear Community,
South Tyneside Local Authority have produced a wonderfully informative booklet called South Tyneside’s Ordinarlily Available Provision – Expectations of all education settings.
Mrs Moody (Head Teacher) and I, attended one of the launch meetings on Wednesday along with many other educational professionals, social care and health professionals and parents and carers to discover and discuss what should be in place for children and young people with additional needs.
I have attached the booklet so please have a look through it so that you can gain a greater understanding of what to expect from your educational setting, Local Authority and partner services.

This morning Miss Donkin and I attended the launch of South Tyneside’s ordinarily available provsion. A guide which defines the expected high quality provision to be available within all settings across the local area, to enusre our young people with SEND are able to attend inclusive provisions which support them to learn, grow and achieve.
This guide has been produced in partnership with parents / carers, Special Educational Network Co-ordinators (SENCOs), and other education, health, and care partners and we hope will be a really useful tool.
The Foundation of Light will be running family learning sessions at Hebburn Family Hub. The 8-week course allows adults to spend time thinking about their own and their child’s mental well-being. Topics covered include, communicating and managing emotions, self-esteem, resilience, anger and stress and is suitable for parents with children aged 7-11 years old.
As well as the 8 parent sessions a further session will run in which children can also attend and join in some fun activities.

Well done everyone!

Dear Community,
Please see the attached Flyer if you think anyone in your household with SEND needs would enjoy participating in SEND Cricket Sessions over the summer holidays.
There are various FREE ‘One-Day Camps’ for 7- 11 year old’s, on offer across the North East, so if you have a budding Ben Stokes, Moreen Ali or James Anderson at home, then get them along to try it out and have some fun at the same time.
Have a wonderful summer!

Dear Parents & Carers,
If you have a child who has recently received an Autism diagnosis or received an Autism diagnosis some time ago, but you haven’t yet attended a support programme, please make note of the following:
EarlyBird, EarlyBird Plus and Teen Life are excellent and easily accessible programmes that assist you to develop a tool-kit of strategies that will enable you to support your child. Working along side other parents, carers and school staff (where they are able to attend), you will receive invaluable opportunities to share your experiences and pick up some ‘Top Tips’ along the way.
If you would like to attend, but a little worried about making that first step, please just get in touch with me and I will support you with this.
Please remember that this course is for the parents and carers of those children who have already received an Autism diagnosis.
Have a wonderful half-term break.
Ms Donkin
SENDCo
