Brilliant to see the collaboration between @PPUK_ and @nasen_org - two of the #AboveandBeyond organisations - working together to support dual or multiple exceptional #DME learners. We're looking forward to hearing more about this during 2020. #hlp #supportingtogether
@nasen_org discussion time for @julietaplin1 and @RebeccaHowellPP with @AdamBoddison and Charlotte about how we can work together to develop support for #DME learners (high learning potential with #SEND).
An important reminder during #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek - children with #hlp often have a greater depth of awareness than their peers and need you to help them understand their emotions.
Speaking to your #child about how they’re feeling can be difficult. @YoungMindsUK have created this tool to encourage conversation with young children about their mental health. #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness
#ChildrensMentalHealthWeek
It’s great to hear that school clubs offer opportunities for all to work at their level - regardless of age. Hopefully this child’s bravado will now open opportunities for other able children who lack her confidence - well done to all.
Today a tiny girl talked her way into the upper school writing club, produced a handwritten copy of @joshuaseigal ‘s Just a Book, gave a bravura reading of it before eating all the crisps & dashing off a story that made the seniors sit up. #SheCanStay

Libraries are such a vital resource for our high learning potential #hlp and dual or multiple exceptional #dme children. In #LibrariesWeek we support #LibrariesChampion @Bobby_Seagull (and past host of @AboveandBeyondAwards) as he advocates for investing in libraries. @CILIPinfo
#Libraries Champion @Bobby_Seagull has written a ten-point manifesto for #LibrariesWeek. He says: "It is time to build the future – invest in libraries." ow.ly/uyps50wEAx6
