It’s Neurodiversity Celebration Week! 🌈

This week, The Holden School is proud to join schools worldwide in celebrating Neurodiversity Celebration Week (March 16th – 20th, 2026).

At our school, we believe that every brain is unique, and we are dedicated to moving “From Awareness to Action” by celebrating the different ways our students think, learn, and experience the world.

What’s Happening This Week?

Our clinical team has curated an inspiring week of activities for all our students:

  • Daily ‘Form Time’ Presentations: Students are starting their days exploring different neurodivergent strengths.
  • Classroom Quizzes & Interactive Challenges: Fun, hands-on ways for students to test their knowledge and celebrate different perspectives.
  • Creative Resources: Every classroom has been provided with specialized activities and toolkits to help bring these important conversations to life.

Watch: “Amazing Things Happen”

To help explain the concept of neurodiversity to your children, we are sharing one of our favorite short films. It is a wonderful, child-friendly look at how different “brain wiring” makes the world a more interesting place.

Watch the video here: Amazing Things Happen!

We are looking forward to a fantastic week of inclusion and celebration. Please keep an eye on our Website and ClassDojo for photos and updates on what the children are achieving!
