It was lovely to welcome Sarah Bool MP last week to The Gateway School.
Raising awareness of the work that SEMH schools do to support young people helps break down misconceptions and illustrates their vital role in the education system.
Last Friday, Sarah Bool, our MP for South Northants, popped along to visit The Gateway School.
With the recently released schools white paper “Every Child Achieving and Thriving” being discussed, she was keen to understand more about how our special school, which supports students with social, emotional and mental health needs (SEMH), functions.
Sarah toured the school during the week’s enrichment sessions, including taking in a drama workshop, creating clay figures around wire frames in art, baking apple crumble in cookery and teaching personal training in the gym.
Chatting to both staff and students, it was great to share the positive impact our school has on the lives of the young people attending TGS, as well as highlight some of the challenges we face.
But even better, it was a fantastic opportunity for students to meet our local parliamentary representative in person.
