My name is Mandy Walton, and I am Head of the Piper Centre, our Specialist Resource Centre. I am excited to be working with our children and families to support them to reach their personal and academic potential.

It is a privilege to be part of each child’s journey, supporting them as they discover and develop their passions and interests in life. We aim to work with each child as an individual to ensure that their educational and therapeutic needs are met so that they can flourish both within Centre and when they leave. 

Here you will find a Centre that is positive, warm and welcoming with staff that have a can-do attitude. We are here to help and support families and children by recognizing their abilities, creating opportunities and removing barriers to see them achieve to the best of their ability. 

It is our key priority that we support our children to develop successful ways to communicate so that their wishes are heard. We aim to foster a love of storytelling and reading so that our children enjoy and can engage with books whatever their interest and ability.

We are currently looking at updating our site with a new video – please check back soon.
