‘Neurodiversity week and the Umbrella Project.’

This week, we’ve been celebrating neurodiversity month with a series of whole year assemblies talking about neurodiversity and the amazing things we can achieve when we embrace our differences. The focus was on how everyone is different and that this is a positive thing.

You may have also seen our Umbrella Project display (before it was battered by the wind!). This is part of the ADHD Foundation’s countrywide initiative to raise awareness of neurodiversity through a series of installations. The founding members of the KWS Umbrella Project decorated some of the umbrellas with words representing the positive traits their neurodiversities bring them, alongside their interests and hobbies. Each year, new members will decorate umbrellas until they are all decorated.

Thank you to KWAF for generously funding our involvement with the project.
