Integration Day

We always give a staff training day over to integration at the beginning of each year, and this year we invited the team from NICIE to work with us. This particular year we begin our second year as a Specialist School, our first with the Sharing Education Project, the first of the e2s curriculum, first time on the Key Programme, first time on the Challenge Award - along with everything else we are involved in. We deeply need to tie all the intiatives in to the central purpose of integration. We also have several new staff to welcome and because an integration day throws us all into talking about ourselves, new staff have the chance to get the measure of us more quickly. We finished the day by writing ourselves a letter each committing us to personal actions towards integration, and the NICIE team will send them back to us in a couple of months. Thanks a million to the NICIE team for facilitating the day.
