Dear Parent/Carers,

Active Schools Edinburgh are excited to share with you our Summer ASN Holiday sessions specifically targeted to pupils with an Additional Support Need across mainstream and special schools. Please find attached the booklet outlining session times and locations. 

Please note bookings will open on Monday 1st June at 9am. The link won’t be active until this time.

Please see the attached booklet, which outlines the specific age groups and ability groupings for each activity. For the swimming sessions, we ask that you sign up for one week only due to high demand. Our coaches and support staff aim to create a supportive environment where your child can learn new skills and, most importantly, enjoy taking part in sport and physical activity. When booking, where possible, please select the ability level that best matches your child.

We expect these sessions to fill quickly. A waiting list will be created for anyone who is unable to secure a space. You can book online by clicking the link in the table within the attached booklet, or by visiting – Active Schools and Sport Development – ASN Summer of Sport Opportunities 2026 – Fill in form

Dear Woodlands Parents and Carers

Thank you so much for having me this morning – I really loved getting to know everyone and talking about my favourite subject!

As promised, below are the links I spoke about:

Day Services and Supported Living Options in Edinburgh for Young People with Significant Intellectual/Learning Disabilities – this is the Padlet managed by CEC / YAD listing some adult services available in and around Edinburgh.

Compass – online transition planning tool – this is the tool that will create a transition timeline for you keeping you on track about what happens when.

Parent/Carer Guide to ASN Post School Enhanced Transition Planning – this is a Padlet managed by CEC / YAD – a Guide to Transition Planning

And here are links to some good videos:

Impact of Digital Passports – YouTube – video explaining why it is so good to have a care passport in place. A really good watch!

What is a Guardianship Order? – Who would need one and when?

I have also attached the care passports templates that I spoke about.

Everyone is welcome to get in touch with me directly if they wish to.

Dear Parents and Carers,

We received official notice that our car park and drop off area at Woodlands will be out of use from Monday 11th May until the end of June.  We have been working with Kier Construction on alternative arrangements for drop off and pick up for our young people and we will do everything we can to reduce any impact these changes may have.  Further information including a plan of the new arrangements will come to you next week, but please be aware that the car park will be OUT OF USE from 11th May

Dear Parent / Carer

I hope you are all well.  We held our first Parent/Carer Coffee Morning at Woodlands last Thursday and Mark Ralton from VOCAL attended.  We had a fairly good turn out, but more importantly the parents who attended felt the session was extremely helpful in providing very useful information.  We will be holding the coffee mornings every month.
