🌟 Exciting News: Brede Primary Joins the Sussex PINS Project! 🌈
We’re thrilled that Brede Primary School was one of just sixteen East Sussex primary schools chosen to take part in the first year of an exciting new pilot called the Partnership for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools (PINS) — launched in October 2024!
What Is the PINS Project?
PINS is all about supporting neurodivergent children — that means children with different ways of thinking, learning, and experiencing the world, such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and more.
This fantastic project is a team effort, bringing together NHS England, the Department for Education, the Department of Health and Social Care, and East Sussex Local Authority — all working together to make school a better, happier place for every child.
What Does This Mean for Our School and Families?
PINS is designed to:
- Provide early help and support right here in school to tackle mental health challenges before they grow.
- Celebrate and support different learning styles, making sure every child can shine in their own way.
- Build strong partnerships between our school and parents and carers, so we work together to support your child’s needs.
- Help improve SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disability) services, creating even better support for all children who need it.
Why We’re Excited
At Brede Primary, we believe every child deserves to feel included, supported, and valued. Being part of the PINS Project means we can do even more to understand and celebrate neurodiversity — making sure all children thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
