Try before you buy with a weeks trial We understand that not all students have the same requirements, so it is often difficult to know if a certain product would work for your school. We are offering a loan service for certain products, starting with the Ricochet Wobble Stool. It offers freedom to fidget, which can help to keep bodies and minds active. The stool comes in 4 different heights (300,350,400 and 450mm) and allows students to rotate 360 degrees. For all your school furniture needs, please visit our website schoolsupplier.co.uk and/or contact info@schoolsupplier.co.uk for details.

Foster carers needed in Stoke-On-Trent If you have love in your heart and space in your home – you could be just who we’re looking for. Stoke-on-Trent City Council need foster carers to help provide a safe and loving family home to children who aren’t able to live with their birth families; who could foster a child with additional needs and disabilities, or require a more therapeutic approach in terms of their care. Enquiries welcome from people from all backgrounds and circumstances. There is no typical foster carer – just those who are passionate about giving children a positive future. Get in touch at: stoke.gov.uk/fostering Bikeathon to Buckingham Palace Challenge Fairfield Farm College students and staff cycled, walked, and danced their way to Buckingham Palace in a virtual ‘Bikeathon to Buckingham Palace Challenge’ for Comic Relief. All those involved managed to clock up enough miles to get to Buckingham Palace and back again, and as it was virtual, students not attending on-site were also able to join in the fun. Everyone managed to raise a fantastic £186.00. Students have also been working hard to sell special odd socks to raise money for the Swindon and Wiltshire Down Syndrome WorkFit employment programme, which brings together employers and job-seekers who have Down’s syndrome. Students managed to raise an amazing £228.00 through their sock selling endeavours. ffc.ac.uk senmagazine.co.uk SEN112 15
