Cedar Class

Welcome to Cedar Class! 

Our class is made up of 4 girls and 6 boys. Our teacher is Sophie and we have 2 learning support assistants called Michelle and Emma. We also have an apprentice called Laura.  

We work really hard in Cedar class and get to explore lots of different subjects. We get to go on an educational visit each week to develop our independent living skills. We all have our own individual targets that we are working on. 

Please keep checking to see some amazing photos of what we have been up to.
