The ATSA Football Event was a roaring success, as schools from across the area joined for a thrilling day of competition and camaraderie on the field. Teams showcased their skills, sportsmanship, and team spirit, creating unforgettable memories. Stay tuned for highlights from the event, and let’s celebrate the power of sportsmanship and teamwork!
We were thrilled to host a behaviour training session led by Chris Hoyle, our esteemed Autism and Communication Lead. Tailored specifically for mainstream schools, the session, titled “Understanding and Supporting Behaviour for Complex Needs,” provided valuable insights and practical strategies for educators within the Atherton area. Chris shared her knowledge, guiding educators towards creating inclusive learning environments for all students. We showcased how we implement these strategies effectively, demonstrating their impact on student success at our setting.
In our second session with Danspiration at Rowan Tree Primary School, excitement was palpable as students eagerly returned to immerse themselves in the world of dance once again. Led by More Than Words, the workshop reaffirmed their commitment to inclusive arts education.

This second session solidified our collaboration, paving the way for future endeavours together. Notably, our school’s Sing and Sign Choir received a special invitation to perform alongside More Than Words at the upcoming Wigan Dance Festival—an opportunity that speaks volumes about the impact of our partnership.
Pupils look forward eagerly to our third workshop!
This Monday, Oak 2 had an unforgettable PE session with our friends from Landgate School. They bonded over team games like rock, paper, scissors, football, and circle games, fostering camaraderie and friendship. It was a joyous occasion filled with laughter and fun as they interacted and played alongside their peers from another school. We’re eagerly anticipating more collaborative sessions in the future!
Fraser and Archie eagerly engage in Meadowbank Primary School’s inclusion sessions every Wednesday, where today’s PE class was a source of delight. The session revolved around honing ball skills and fostering teamwork. A heartfelt appreciation goes to Mrs. Birchall, the Year 5 teacher, for orchestrating a valuable and enjoyable learning experience.
Congratulations to Meadowbank for winning the ‘Access to Success’ ATSA event.
Mrs. Oliver has championed collaborative working with Meadowbank and other schools, creating a spirit of cooperation and shared success. The ‘Access to Success’ event is just one of many hosted by Rowan Tree, reflecting our commitment to providing diverse opportunities for student growth.
These events strengthen bonds within the school community, promoting healthy competition and fostering connections.
Congratulations to Meadowbank, and thanks to all schools involved for their ongoing efforts in building strong links and creating positive outcomes through collaborative working.

Recently we have been very lucky to welcome the children from the Lighthouse, which is the SEN provision at Meadowbank school, to our school every Monday. The children have been visiting Poplar 1 and Fir 2. They have been having lots of fun joining in with our P.E sessions, messy play and mark making activities and just spending time getting to know their peers. It’s been a great chance for our children to meet and greet other children from our community and for staff to connect and learn best practice from each other.
🌟 Exciting day at Rowan Tree Primary School as the Atherton and Tyldesley Sports Association brought together six different schools for an amazing yoga and dance workshops to our school.
Led by Vicky and Jaydan, pupils had a blast exploring the world of movement and relaxation. It was fantastic to see so many schools coming together to access the resources available within our Specialist Provision. Thanks to our Deputy Headteacher (Kathryn) for organising and everyone involved for making this day extra special!
