Send Project Weblog

We would like to give a massive thanks to all staff, volunteers and everybody who helped SEND in the development and delivery of a 6 week summer project for a group of young people from St Stephens C of E primary school in Sneinton.

During June and July a group of yr 6 children who were moving from primary to secondary school spent their summer weeks with the SEND team at the greenway centre taking part in a series of AQA accredited courses in Music technology, T-shirt print design and CD cover design. We also held group mentoring sessions during the weeks to help with bullying, any anticipations, fears and preconceptions of moving up to ‘big school’.

The transition group was marvellous and worked very hard throughout the 6 weeks!! After a (short) 2 day reunion during half term to do some painting and/or write some music, the group has settled very well into Greenwood Dale School in Sneinton, and we look forward to seeing them again in the future and to next year’s project!!

Due to the great success of our Family Learning course at the Joseph Wittaker school in Rainworth this year, SEND are starting another course for parents to come and learn how to make music at the same time as their child(ren). On Monday 9th November we are hosting a drop in session for parents and children to come and have an introductory look at what the course will involve and meet the staff.

The course is free for all and open to all skill levels!! Please feel free to come in on Monday between 3:30 and 4:30 to join and have a chat.

SEND Project are hosting introduction to break dancing lessons at the greenway centre every Wednesday evening from 6:00 – 8:00 pm. The sessions will only cost 50p per session for any age and for any level of experience. These sessions will be working on a first come first serve basis due to restrictions in group numbers and the success and popularity of our courses, so if you wish to join please call the above phone number to book a place or turn up early.

The SEND, Groundhogs and Greenway centre staff are employing a NO TOLERANCE policy and will not accept any form of abuse or disrespect to the staff and the building.

We are here to help and support you all to create, enjoy and achieve!
