Lampard School
"Here at Lampard Community School, we are so excited to get started on building our outdoor classroom! With funding from The Northbrook Community trust our amazing young people, all of whom have communication and interaction difficulties and complex learning needs, will have a space where they can feel safe and supported outside, keep their emotions regulated through contact with nature, and have the opportunity to improve their social communication skills in a calming, natural environment. Thank you so much for your generosity!"

Live Music Now
Many pupils have been adversely affected by the pandemic, whether through missing school or their usual routine or through changes in personal or family circumstances. The school was keen to explore how music could support pupils with their confidence, helping them to work together effectively and to find a creative outlet for their feelings. They wanted to link this with their existing Thrive intervention programme, and to support Thrive practitioners amongst the staff to use more music. With funding through the Northbrook Community Trust, Live Music Now was able to set up a term-long music project with these aims.
