JFK Special School

It is amazing to see our staff joined by our colleagues from @Connaughtsend and @lihtrust for two days of SCERTS training from Emily Rubbin.

On my way to #veranoUMA2024 @fguma to talk about all the wonderful things we do to support our students @JfkSend 🫶

Willow Class enjoyed accessing our life skills studio today. Where students followed a visual schedule to make a fruit smoothie to keep cool in the hot weather. 🥵

Cedar Class enjoyed accessing the Life Skills Room to learn about skills we can transfer from school to home. They explored mixing different ingredients to bake a delicious lemon cake. They also used cognition skills to sort socks into pairs and practised hanging clothes.

Staff at our Stratford site are ready to welcome pupils to school ahead of celebrating #WorldBookDay 📖📚.

Our recently installed Cubbies are having a fantastic impact in supporting pupils regulation across our secondary ASC provision. @Cubbiecare

A big Friday shout-out and thank you to our site supervisor staff for quickly responding and clearing the entrance walkway to school after a tree toppled in the high wind over night 🌬️ 🌲

We were delighted to welcome Governors, Trustees and Members to our annual Governance Day at @hartley_primary on Saturday. Their continued dedication to our schools is inspiring and highly appreciated by our trust and schools. @InspiringGov @SchoolGovNet

On the final day of the Autumn term, we would like to wish all JFK pupils, families, staff and our wider community a merry festive period. We look forward to seeing you all in 2024! 🎉 🎄

A big thank you to all JFK families who have been able to navigate the extreme traffic delays in the area this evening to pick up pupils on short notice. Have a great weekend and we will see you all on Monday!

Amazing work from @teacherPops showing the impact that @lihtrust and @JfkSend can have within the community. tes.com/magazine/analy…

The following @tes article highlights the exciting collaborative work which has taken place with a range of emergency services. It is fantastic to be able to support our wider community and we are proud of the individuals who have worked hard to make this happen 🚨 👏

A reminder to all JFK families that school will be closed tomorrow for staff Inset. School will reopen as usual on Monday 2nd October.

This afternoon, my colleague and I held some CPD on social stories. It was great to have such high engagement from our colleagues and hear about their experiences of using social stories to support our young people #socialstories @JfkSend

The pupils in Maple class have had a great first week back. We’ve enjoyed getting to know each other through intensive interaction, sensory play and attention autism. Pupils have even started showing fantastic spontaneous communication 👏🏼 excited for the year ahead! @JfkSend

It has been fantastic to welcome back pupils at JFK Plaistow, North Woolwich and Stratford today and it was exciting to meet our new starters who visited this morning 😊

JFK staff and pupils were delighted to receive a visit today from one of our former pupils! It was fantastic for her to see familiar faces and tell us all how much she has enjoyed her new college this year.
