Dear Children of Priory Woods School,
I have just looked at your web-site and I am truly gob-smacked, it is amazing! You have such talented children in your school, the art work, cookery and music prove that, and your teachers and TA's must work very hard to provide you with such fantastic activities and then display them on your very own web-site. I shall be telling the children in my school all about your web-site, and, hopefully, we can design one of our own. It won't be half as good as yours though. Keep up the good work, I shall be popping back regularly!

What a
fantastic webpage! I only wish my school's was half as good.
Perhaps it will be after we learn lots from yours. The programs
you use are wonderful and you are certainly an enthusiastic
and creative school. You have provided me with lots of info
that looks user friendly along with an insight to the running
of your school and its programs. It is great to check out
the curriculum from another country and share learning and
resources. Thank you.

What a
brilliant website!!!! Not only has all the hard work, dedication
and imagination allowed our Special Developmental School
to increase their resources but it has also enabled our
students to use very motivational and fun programs. To top
it off, it has also motivated many staff into receiving
the professional development necessary for us to make similar
resources. Thank you so much in your generosity with sharing
and I am sure that as soon as we have developed our own
we would love to share them with you.

A truly
magnificent resource for Special Needs children. There are
many commercially produced programs, but few come close
to matching these. The fact that you are working directly
with the end users sticks out a mile because everything
is so motivating, easy to use and age / interest appropriate.
Congratulations and best wishes.

As a teaching
assistant in a main stream junior school I am always looking
for suitable material for the pupils I work with. I'm looking
forward to trying this with the low achieving Y3 I work
with on monday. He loves the computer and it's trying to
find things that he likes which are also educational at
his level. Thank you.

I am really
impressed by your work with your pupils. I am trying to
become more familiar with ICT in the hope of emulating your
work. As part of a computer course I am doing at Strathclyde
University in Glasgow I have to write about computers in
use in another country. I intend to write about your fantastic
work. It would be a great help if I could contact somebody
at your school to ask a few questions. I appreciate your
sharing of your work. Thanks, Barbara

Thank
you so much for your great stuff. particularly your older
student switch activities. It is hard to find activites
for older students. I turn the flash animations into qt
movies then put them into speaking dynamically pro or powerpoint
to have a choice making activity using touchwindow or intellikeys.

The website
just gets better and better Ian! I still find it incredible
that you put all that effort in and yet are happy to share
the results with everyone free of charge! Your future pupils
at the Cleveland Unit are particularly enjoing the switch
videos (as are the staff!) I've not found anything else
so motivating - we have great discos - i think the rest
of the unit is really jealous!
my only tiny concern is that some of the downloads don't
seem to be working - I know it's incredibly greedy of me
to want even more than you've already provided but once
i've got a taste i just can't wait to get them into school
for the kids! (the ones i've come across are teletubbies,
5 little ducks and thomas the tank engine) thanks again
for everything!

Thank
you so much for making these resources available. I was
told about your site by an OT today, and have already bookmarked
it on all of the computers of my colleagues at school -
tomorrow we'll have a lot of fun with our kids, who all
have severe and multiple disabilities, am always looking
for things that are single switch accessible - my literacy
and numeracy programs are going to be very exciting for
my little kids, and the other teachers are looking forward
to trying the pop videos - let you know how we all go!

What do I need (cheapest)? Thank you

Hello
PRIORY WOODS PEOPLE. How are you all? Hope you are all still
having lots of fun in the ICT room with Ian and co. Well
Iam over in NZ working in a school for children with special
needs. I am eager to get some of your resources used within
the school. We need a range of switches first. Hope you
are all well in old boro, missing you all heaps.
Ian any words of wisdom for getting started would be gratefully
appreciated. Hope the kids are still having lots of fun
working those switches. Please give my love to Judy S, Judy

What a
wonderful place for kids to learn and grow! I am very impressed
with how Priory Woods has so successfully integrated technology
with the curriculum so that all students may learn! I am
a speech therapist and I also teach AT/AAC classes at a
local university. I plan on having many of my students,
fellow therapists and classroom teachers have a look at
your site to see what can be accomplished with AT when the
program is implemented appropriately!

I recently
came across your site while researching for a project on
animal cruelty and I am disgusted by the number of people
who think animals should perform in circus' and that there
is nothing wrong with it. There is. All that nonsense about
them being loved by their trainers and being cared for properly
is a load of (expletive deleted). Animals are too easily
exploited and are only used for money. Money is what it's
really all about. Not the enjoyment of the audience, if
that is what you really get joy out of. You all don't understand
the issue well enough if you really believe that is true.
Sorry for putting this in your guestbook but I want people
to read this and ask themselves again if they truly believe
animals were meant for this kind of life.

We love
all the wonderful resources you are kind enough to share
with us. We would be very grateful of your opinions on the
pros and cons of interactive whiteboards with the range
of needs of your pupils.We are currently planning resources
for a new complex learning difficulties school to be opened
in 2006. The plans currently include a whiteboard in each
class. Currently we have no experience of these boards and
we want to make sure they are a resource which will be fully
utilised and of value to all our pupils.
We keep mentioning your website to anyone and everyone!
Thanks again.
Keep up the brilliant work!
