At Healing Primary Academy, we pride ourselves on being inclusive, empathetic and respectful. As such, we celebrated World Braille Day on 4th January by learning to read and write Braille. This was supported by one of our pupils who works in Braille; he delivered a wonderful virtual assembly to the whole school about Braille, and taught our pupils lots about life as a blind member of the community. We are incredibly proud of him and think he’s a credit to our school and community.
We are also incredibly proud of one of our Teaching Assistants, Mrs Wright. Mrs Wright has voluntarily spent over 200 hours of her own time learning to read and type Braille, in order to support the pupil she works with. She is now successfully qualified to Level 1 in Number Braille and Level Two in English Braille, which is an outstanding achievement.
This training is proving invaluable in supporting our pupil in all areas. It’s thanks to Mrs Wright’s dedication, determination and hard work that he is making accelerated progress towards all of his targets – academic and social. Mrs Wright is a credit to Harbour Learning Trust and a valued member of Team Healing Primary. Well done, Mrs Wright!
Our Multi Academy Trust is a family of schools, who are genuinely committed to collaborative working, sharing the same vision and values and placing children at the heart of every decision we take.
By working together, we will strive to create a genuine partnership that all of our pupils, staff, governors and wider stakeholders are proud to be part of.
We are child-centred, inclusive and ambitious. We expect everyone to act with integrity and be courteous, polite and kind at all times. We value our staff and invest extensively in training.
These values enable us to deliver a high-quality education that not only encourages curiosity, but equips our pupils with the academic outcomes, confidence, ambition and skills to contribute positively to our community and society in general.
