Burton-upon-Stather Primary School becomes a Prem Aware school

We are thrilled to welcome Burton-upon-Stather Primary School as our latest Prem Aware School as they have met all three requirements by completing the free PRISM e-learning resource to train staff, asking parents and carers if their children were born prematurely as part of the admissions process and requesting feedback from parents on any extra support provided.

Burton-upon-Stather Primary School will now have a better understanding of the lasting effects of premature birth, be able to identify issues early and provide the practical and emotional support children may need on their education journey, making a huge difference to pupils born prematurely and their families.

The training was extremely beneficial to raise awareness of prematurity across our school and to provide strategies to support children born prematurely.
