This week DDLETB schools celebrated Autism Awareness Week. In Ardgillan we are fortunate to have a number of ASD students who enrich our school community. Our SEN Team made an extra effort this week to celebrate these students and acknowledge the contribution they make to the positive and inclusive culture in Ardgillan.
