Whitmore High School Autism Base

One of our yr11 students has been creating a campaign to help stop deforestation as part of his GCSE coursework. Here is his poster and fact sheet. @Whitmoregarden @WHSdog @WHSwellbeing @WhitmoreHigh

Some of the base pupils had a great time on this week's trip to Penarth cliff tops - they enjoyed a play in the park, some snacks in the cafe, and finally a brisk walk to finish! 😄🛝 @WhitmoreBase @WhitmoreHigh

Pupils from the Resource Base were lucky enough to have a visit from South Wales Police Drones Unit this afternoon. They particularly enjoyed learning all about the drones' heat seeking and zoom capabilities. Fun and informative - thank you, @swpolice

Another busy day in The Base for Daisy. @WhitmoreHigh

Our two new items on the Bakery Menu were a hit. Lemon 🍋 & Blueberry 🫐 Loaf cake & NYC Gingerbread 🍪 Cookies. AJ @WhitmoreBase did a fabulous job of delivering our items & selling our surplus bakes & treats! Another successful day @WhitmoreHigh @WhitmoreALN

A big Thank You to the Engagement Service at @YsgolYDeri for running two training sessions for our inset day today. Our staff have been learning about Disclosure work for Autism & ADHD and Sensory Processing & Regulation. Great sessions!

Another busy morning in the Bakery. Lots of delicious treats on the menu; banana & choco chip muffins, lemon drizzle cake, bread & roasted butternut squash soup. The soup with a bread roll was a HUGE hit. It tasted absolutely delish! @WhitmoreHigh @WhitmoreALN @WhitmoreBase

Congratulations to the staff from Whitmore and Pencoedtre Autism Bases for being finalists in the @ThinkediLtd Diversity and Inclusion Wales awards! Well done to Mrs Robinson and Mr Robinson for winning the awards in their category! 🤩@Pencoedtre_Base @WhitmoreHigh @WHSdog

We had a lovely trip to Porthkerry Park today. We attended the cafe, played in the park, and went to the pebble beach. This was the perfect place for our budding photographers to test their skills. @WhitmoreHigh @WHSdog
