A BIG Thank You from the children and staff at

Kingsbury School

Kingsbury School is a school for children with learning difficulties. In

2010 changes were made to our curriculum and new topics were

introduced. The grant has enabled us to buy new resources for these topics and improve learning for each pupil.

There are 12 topics to be covered over 3 years.

Here are some of the topics and examples of resources we have been able to buy as a result of
