PARENT EVENTS AND INFORMATION

Throughout the year we hold various events for parents and carers, some of which are whole school events and some are specific to your child's class. Updates will be placed on our Events Calendar, and on our closed Facebook group – West SILC Community – parents / carers can request to join but you must answer the questions.

Alternatively speak to your child's class teacher for further information.

Online training videos/resources that parents and carers may find helpful:

STARS (Specialist Training in Autism and Raising Standards)

The videos are bite-sized practical resources designed for parents and carers of school aged children and young people, covering a range of topics that parents and carers have indicated are important to them. Each video will have an associated resource pack.
