NHS Cheshire & Merseyside are launching a new neurodevelopmental pathway and vision for how services across Cheshire and Merseyside can better support neurodivergent children and young people. Listen 4 Change is working closely with local services to consider how this will work best for St Helens and how the St Helens Pathway can be transformed so families have a positive experience. They will be running the following engagement sessions with the NHS Cheshire & Merseyside Commissioning Manager for parent carers to share your views on a future pathway: Tuesday 16th September 10am-12pm - Online Zoom session Wednesday 1st October 10am-12pm - in person at Wonderland Community Centre Thursday 2nd October 6-8pm - in person at Wonderland Community Centre Places are limited and booking is essential using the booking link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScpFKh6dkJRRn1xn-R-J10NPONviUzQGv712mQIXvgt4TpvMw/viewform?pli=1 You can also share your views via the Padlet (online noticeboard) that has been set up so parent carers and young people can comment on the initial proposals.

Dear Parents/Carers It has been brought to our attention that the 733 Academy Bus at the end of the academy day at 2.40pm is no longer suitable for the amount of students wishing to use this service. We are currently in discussions with Stage Coach, who provide this service, to see if they can source a larger vehicle. This is currently under investigation and we are awaiting further information from them. If successful, as always, Stage Coach would expect exemplary behaviour from our students when travelling on the bus, and if we get the go ahead they will provide us with information about the change, which we will then email home. In the meantime, we apologise for any issues that your child may have had or may experience and hopefully we can resolve this issue as soon as possible, Kind regards The Sutton Academy

Polite reminder that today is PSHE therefore in order to maximise the PSHE learning which students receive and to minimise the impact on other curriculum areas, we have made changes to the academy day when PSHE sessions take place. Please see the attached timetable.
