This project was set up initially after a group discussion with staff talking about how children
can be born in the same hospital, ward but at the same time their paths may never cross due
to the fact that one has a learning disability. Others would potentially meet each other at
nursery and then again through school etc.
As people who work within the learning disability field we wanted to share our experiences
with school children and break down some barriers and myths. It was also felt that in doing
so children would also consider the learning disability programme as a career path.
This project started in September 2022 and is flourishing. Katrina Moore the principal and
her pupils have totally embraced this project.
