Wren Spinney School showcases expertise to Singapore delegation ​​​​​​​

Last week, Wren Spinney School welcomed 16 teachers from Singapore representing the Cerebral Palsy Alliance of Singapore, The Rainbow Centre, and the Asian Women's Welfare Association. Their visit to Wren Spinney was part of a week-long study tour exploring best practice in delivering the EQUALS curriculum for learners with profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD).

Wren Spinney was one of just six UK schools chosen for their visit, a real testament to the strength of the school’s approach. During their visit, the delegation learned about the thinking behind the curriculum journey, discussed implementation challenges and successes, and reflected on the impact for learners.

The feedback from the international visitors was incredibly moving:

“We left feeling inspired and better equipped for the road ahead. We are truly grateful for the opportunity to learn from your journey. Hearing how you built a shared vision, navigated challenges, and stayed true to your values was both practical and deeply motivating.”

The Singapore delegation also extended an invitation for Wren Spinney to visit their schools in Singapore, to continue the professional dialogue and deepen shared learning. The school is looking forward to building lasting international connections that benefit not only the schools, but the wider global community of inclusive education.

Wren Spinney, which was graded ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted last year, is a centre of excellence for the EQUALS curriculum. In addition to the Singapore visitors, the school has had delegations visit from New Zealand and around the UK to see best practice in action.

The school is currently in discussion with North Northamptonshire Council to expand its expert provision on nearby land at Westhill, which could provide an extra 32 places at the school to some of the most vulnerable children in Northamptonshire.
