Neurodiversity Advocates - also known as 'ND Advocates'
Neurodiversity is a word used to explain the unique ways different brains work. At Woodbridge, we celebrate differences and always strive to ensure our neurodivergent community feel included in all aspects of school life they wish to be.
Mrs Slater is our school's ND Advocate and our staff have received the 'Making Sense of Autism' training from the Autism Education Trust.
If you would like further information about how we support neurodiversity in our school, please contact Mrs Slater (SENDCO) via Class Dojo or the school office telephone number.
