It was a pleasure to visit North Ridge Community School last week and meet with members of the Pupil Parliament to learn more about the important work they do. I was impressed by the students’ enthusiasm about working together to make a positive difference in their school community.
I also met with with the Headteacher and representatives from Nexus Multi Academy Trust to discuss the challenges facing children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), and the growing levels of need they are seeing. I was particularly impressed by the commitment and dedication of staff in working to meeting the needs of every child, ensuring they receive the support, care and opportunities they need to thrive.
Thank you to everyone at North Ridge Community School for such a warm welcome and for the vital work you do every day to support young people and their families.
