We are absolutely delighted to announce that Riverbrae School has a Pearson Teaching Awards Finalist!

These awards are the ‘Oscars’ of the teaching profession.  Our very own Calum Coutts has made it to the finals in the category of Digital Innovator of the Year.  We are keeping our fingers crossed that he wins, although he is already our winner!  Good Luck Calum @TeachingAwards

To coincide with Mental Health Awareness Week which is 10-16th May, we bring you a Saturday Signs Special showing you the signs for different feelings and emotions along with a few photos of WCAT children disproving that popular misconception that children with DS are always happy!
