SEND events December 2025

Aiming Higher parent information workshop, Christmas Quiz and Crafts.

Our Information Workshops are delivered on a themed timetable, taking in different SEND related topics and providing a safe space for parents and carers to come together, learn, socialise and share experiences.

Workshops are a great way to learn from the ‘experts’…also know as ‘other parents’!…as well as finding out more about the world of SEND in an informal space.

Quiet hour at Tesco every Wednesday and Saturday. During the quiet hour Tesco will be dimming the lights and lowering the checkout noise in all of their larger stores to make it more enjoyable for customers.
