Neurodiversity Umbrella Project

Lime Tree joined The Neurodiversity Umbrella Project, which is an uplifting visual representation of all the different minds we have in the UK. We have proudly set up our rainbow-tastic display in The Avenue and it represents the one in five of us who have a neurodevelopmental condition, such as ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia or Tourette’s syndrome. These conditions fall under the umbrella term of neurodiversity. We are changing the perception of neurodiverse/neurodivergent people and celebrating all the many strengths that come from thinking differently. As well as looking amazing, the umbrellas have encouraged lots of conversations about neurodiversity and our ‘No Outsiders’ Ethos, as well as being the focus of a very informative whole school assembly lead by our very own SENCO, Mrs Lloyd! There was lots of discussion about differences, and we had some fantastic feedback from the children and adults who attended the assembly.
