ESPCF Newsletters


What can you find in our summer newsletter?
The stats and messages from our school groups for parent carers; comments on the national SEND picture; our events round up; new position statement on social communication differences; the all-important summer temperature check; free webinars; news about the school health service, and more.

A little later than planned, but our winter 2024/25 newsletter is here!
