Makaton Ambassadors

As an inclusive school who places a huge emphasis on Pupil Leadership, we have introduced a new Leadership Role: Makaton Ambassadors. These children impressed us with their applications and their passion certainly shone through. 

We hope that being a Makaton Ambassador will help to drive our children's ambitions and make them leaders of the future.
