On Wednesday we had a lovely musical interlude from Myron, James and John. All of the songs were by the Beatles and many members of the school community cam outside to watch in the lovely sunshine. A great time was had by all and we really appreciated the brief return to normal life at The Mendip School.
The video can be found here.
Thanks to The St James’s Place Charitable Foundation and Somerset Community Foundation a wonderful new resource is now in place at the special school on The Bath and West Showground. Donations totaling over £15,000 enabled a room to be transformed into a stimulating and exciting sensory space. The room provides a fully cushioned and accessible space with tactile media including lighting tubes, UV responsive areas and colour and sound projection. It is already really popular with the children and young people. On Wednesday we were finally able to hold our official opening to thank our benefactors for their generosity.

Congratulations to the wonderful Angel who has applied to work as a play worker during the summer play scheme. Following a truly impressive interview yesterday she was offered the post and we are all truly delighted for her. She was so impressive that we have asked her to be part of the interview panel for new teaching assistants next week. What an incredible young lady!
