Lady Zia Wernher School

Lady Zia Wernher School Lady Zia Wernher School is a Primary Community Special School educating children who have a wide ran We are a busy friendly school, with lots going on.

Lady Zia Wernher School is a Primary Community Special School educating children between the ages of 3 and 11 years who have a wide range of special educational needs. All children attending the school have a cognitive delay; they also have additional needs which include physical disabilities, autistic spectrum condition, medical requirements or a combination of these additional needs. We have hig

h expectations of our children and experienced, creative and skilful staff ensure the children access a rich and varied learning environment, and develop their skills in the key areas of communication, cognition, social skills, life skills and motor skills. A range of strategies are used to support the development of these key skills, for example Makaton signing, PECS, TEACCH, multi-sensory environments, eating programmes, rebound therapy, circuits and educational visits. The core purpose of Lady Zia Wernher School is to enable all the children to enjoy their learning, to make progress and to achieve in every facet of their education. In addition the school endeavours to ensure the children’s achievements are recognised and celebrated by the community in which they live and society in general. The child’s family is fundamental to their progress and successful learning and the core purpose is most effective when the school and families work in partnership, sharing the journey of learning, together. The strength of partnership with our families is a reflection of the strength of the school. If you are considering the school for your child I would be pleased to welcome you for a visit and answer any questions you may have. This website aims to give you a taster of the school, as well as providing regular updated information for parents, carers and families on our class and news pages. We hope that you enjoy your visit to our website, however do contact us if you would like to visit and see the school in action. Thank you for visiting. Mrs Hilary Davies

বাংলা (Bangla) and اردو (Urdu) translations below: Thank you to everyone who joined us for our recent SEMH Coffee Morning. It was wonderful to see so many parents, carers and colleagues from transport come together to share experiences and support. During the session, we explored how anxiety can present in children, emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA), masking, and the connection between anxiety, sleep and emotional wellbeing. We also discussed practical, low-demand strategies to support regulation, communication and bedtime routines, with a focus on helping children feel safe, understood and supported both at home and in school. Thank you again for your engagement, thoughtful questions and valuable contributions. We look forward to seeing you at our next SEMH Coffee Morning.

সম্প্রতি অনুষ্ঠিত আমাদের SEMH কফি মর্নিং-এ অংশগ্রহণকারী সবাইকে আন্তরিক ধন্যবাদ। এত সংখ্যক অভিভাবক, পরিচর্যাকারী এবং পরিবহন বিভাগের সহকর্মীদের একসঙ্গে এসে নিজেদের অভিজ্ঞতা ভাগ করে নেওয়া এবং পারস্পরিক সহায়তা করতে দেখে আমরা অত্যন্ত আনন্দিত হয়েছি।
সেশনে আমরা আলোচনা করেছি শিশুদের মধ্যে উদ্বেগ (Anxiety) কীভাবে প্রকাশ পেতে পারে, আবেগজনিত কারণে স্কুলে যেতে অনীহা (Emotionally Based School Avoidance – EBSA), মাস্কিং (Masking) এবং উদ্বেগ, ঘুম ও মানসিক সুস্থতার মধ্যকার সম্পর্ক সম্পর্কে।
এছাড়াও, আমরা শিশুদের আবেগ নিয়ন্ত্রণ, কার্যকর যোগাযোগ এবং ঘুমের সময়ের রুটিন গড়ে তুলতে সহায়ক কিছু সহজ ও কম-চাপের (low-demand) কৌশল নিয়ে আলোচনা করেছি। আমাদের মূল লক্ষ্য ছিল শিশুদের যেন বাড়ি এবং স্কুল—উভয় পরিবেশেই নিরাপদ, বোঝাপ্রাপ্ত এবং সমর্থিত বোধ করতে সাহায্য করা।
আপনাদের সক্রিয় অংশগ্রহণ, চিন্তাশীল প্রশ্ন এবং মূল্যবান মতামতের জন্য আবারও আন্তরিক ধন্যবাদ। আগামী SEMH কফি মর্নিং-এ আপনাদের আবারও স্বাগত জানাতে আমরা অধীর আগ্রহে অপেক্ষা করছি।

حال ہی میں منعقد ہونے والی ہماری SEMH کافی مارننگ میں شرکت کرنے والے تمام افراد کا تہہ دل سے شکریہ۔

یہ دیکھ کر بہت خوشی ہوئی کہ اتنی بڑی تعداد میں والدین، نگہداشت کرنے والے افراد اور ٹرانسپورٹ کے ساتھی ایک جگہ جمع ہوئے تاکہ اپنے تجربات کا تبادلہ کریں اور ایک دوسرے کی مدد و حوصلہ افزائی کریں۔

اس نشست کے دوران ہم نے اس بات پر گفتگو کی کہ بچوں میں بے چینی (Anxiety) کس طرح ظاہر ہو سکتی ہے، جذباتی وجوہات کی بنا پر اسکول سے گریز (Emotionally Based School Avoidance – EBSA)، ماسکنگ (Masking)، اور بے چینی، نیند اور جذباتی صحت کے درمیان تعلق۔

ہم نے بچوں کی جذباتی کیفیت کو بہتر انداز میں سنبھالنے، مؤثر رابطے اور سونے کے وقت کے معمولات میں مدد دینے کے لیے آسان اور کم دباؤ والی (Low-demand) عملی حکمتِ عملیوں پر بھی بات کی۔ ہماری توجہ اس بات پر تھی کہ بچوں کو گھر اور اسکول دونوں جگہ محفوظ، سمجھا گیا اور بھرپور تعاون یافتہ محسوس ہو۔

آپ کی بھرپور شرکت، سوچ سمجھ کر کیے گئے سوالات اور قیمتی آراء کے لیے ایک بار پھر شکریہ۔ ہم اپنی اگلی SEMH کافی مارننگ میں آپ سے دوبارہ ملاقات کے منتظر ہیں۔

This year some Upper School pupils have had the privilege of making friends with pupils from Hillborough Junior School as part of The Linking Network.
We have learnt more about who we are as people. We have celebrated our similarities and differences and have enjoyed being included in the wider community of Luton as we have been on visits with our new friends.
