Neurodiversity Week 2026

Our school proudly took part in Neurodiversity Celebration Week, a global initiative designed to recognise and value the many different ways people think, learn, and experience the world.

It was a vibrant and meaningful week filled with learning and collaboration across our whole community. 

Pupils attended assemblies exploring what neurodiversity means and why it matters. We discussed Nena Kalu, Turner Prize Artist, challenged common misconceptions and encouraged everyone to celebrate the unique ways our brains work.  

One of the most impactful moments of the week was a dedicated session where teachers had the opportunity to learn directly from neurodivergent pupils. Pupils spoke candidly about their experiences in the classroom, what helps them thrive, and what small changes can make a big difference. This honest and collaborative dialogue strengthened understanding across the school and reinforced our commitment to ensuring every pupil feels supported and valued. 

To round off the week, we hosted a joint Neurodiversity Celebration Fair with Beaufort House. The event brought together pupils and staff, to raise awareness as well money for charity. Fidget tools were sold, pupils and members of staff enjoyed playing table tennis and many people took a quiz to find out their brain type.  

Thank you to everyone who helped to make the week such a success. It showcased our school’s belief that every member of the community is valued and that inclusion is everyone’s responsibility.
