Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland Labour MP, Ashok Kumar, will be visiting Guisborough's Laurence Jackson School this coming Friday (the 7th March) to meet Mr Tony Gavin, the School's new Headteacher, and to visit the Applegarth Unit on the School Campus and which gives special help to Children with Autistic Spectrum Conditions.
Ashok said "This is an important visit. Laurence Jackson School is the biggest 11-16 school in Redcar and Cleveland and teaches children from across a large part of my constituency. It is an excellent school, and one on the cutting edge of educational innovation. I want to hear from Mr Gavin on his plans for the future and for his views on how the government's new educational reforms are working on the ground"
"I will also be visiting the Applegarth Centre and the lead teacher there, Jane Goodchild. This centre, opened last September is a specialist unit accommodating up to either children at a time or who have a range of autistic spectrum conditions – including Aspergers Syndrome. The unit helps prepare them for life in a school setting and undertakes its work on a one-to-one basis for all the children using the centre. The work there is vital. If those youngsters can cope with school life, they will also be better prepared for adult life as well."
