About Addington School and Addington Association:

Based in Woodley, Reading, the Addington School is an outstanding environment for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. All our pupils have a learning difficulty with almost half also having Autism.

The Addington School Association is a registered charity (registration number 1088765), and a very small group of dedicated parents and teaching staff who raise funds for much needed extra facilities at the school that are not provided by the Local Authority. Our latest ambitious plan is a Sensory Garden which we hope to have raised funds for the first phase by 2020.

The garden will help us grow the physical, social and emotional skills of our pupils by transforming our outside space. Zones will create stimulating challenges that support learning guidelines and the National Curriculum by encouraging our pupils to develop physical, social and emotional skills through exploration and interaction.

In order to bring this to life, we're appealing to the immediate community, home to many of the world's big businesses to support us in any way they can, via donations, fund-raising events, sponsorship and/or volunteering.

Good luck and THANK YOU to everyone who participates and helps realise our dream of growing such an important Sensory Garden for the children and young people we care for so much.
