Did you know – approximately 15-20% of the population has a neurological difference?

Depending on how our brains work, we think, move, process information and communicate in different ways.  Many people in our community use neurodiversity as an umbrella term to describe alternative thinking styles such as Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Autism and ADHD.  

Most importantly, neurodiversity is about recognising those who think differently and remembering that we can all benefit from different thinkers!

We will be acknowledging neurodiversty in our assemblies this week and celebrating the diverse range of thinkers that are in the world around us.

Celebrating Neurodiversity week is another example of how pupils demonstrate our Smestow Values, by making a difference every day and equality and respect for all.  It also means that we provide a welcoming and caring environment at our School.
