Woodlands Meed have received The Autism Aware Award from The West Sussex Autism and Social Communication Team.

Deputy Head Chris Carter attended specialist training sessions, and the school demonstrated commitment to best practice approaches for supporting autistic pupils in the months to follow. The course is designed to make sure schools are well-informed of the current strategies and support for those with Autism as well as giving educational professionals a chance to share best practice.

Chris Carter, Deputy Head at Woodlands Meed said on receiving the award “The Autism Aware Award has been brilliant for Woodlands Meed. Even special schools need to review their SEN practice, and make sure they’re doing everything they possibly can to support their pupils; AAA has given us new ideas and kept us up to date with the best ways to help our young people, and the impact on our pupils and staff has been amazing.”.
