This week is our annual Takeover Week, where we join in the Children’s Commissioner’s Takeover Challenge - and we do it for the whole week - and older students across school get to takeover adult roles.
Lots of our older learners want to have a go at jobs and experience the responsibility of being an adult, making decisions and getting work done!
Students chose to work with a member of staff and to carry out their duties - ranging from premises, office work, supporting younger pupils, attending meetings and even being the headteacher!
It’s a great opportunity for us to help our students develop independence skills linked to Preparing for Adulthood.
Two students helped Craig to clean the bus for take over day, they really enjoyed it.
Another joined in with the Diwali sensory session in Dolphin class, working with a younger child to help him complete his Diva lamp.
One young man has been helping IT manager Lynx for take over day, he helped check the 4D equipment and filled the photocopier.
One of our young ladies took over from teacher Katie and helped the younger children which she really loves and the little pupils enjoy.
