Acland Burghley School

Acland Burghley's SEND provision on BBC London

On Monday 23 February, we welcomed BBC London News to our Autism resource provision 'The Base' and our mainstream classrooms, as the government released a new white paper on SEND education. Our Headteacher Nicholas John also took part in a BBC Radio London interview earlier on in the day and on Thursday 12 March, BBC Radio London also featured interviews with Leyah in Y11 and Curriculum Leader for Autism Provision Antonios Siorovigkas.
