Sports Day 2019
On the 19th and 26th June, KTS pupil took part in Sports Days. The first sports day was a traditional one, with sporting activities on the school field and the second was a Sensory Sports Day, which involved a hunt for sensory activities around the school.
Both days were a success thanks to the effort and organisation of our staff, and both days were thoroughly enjoyed by pupils, staff and families.

Charity Fundraising
One of our wonderful families are raising funds for outdoor play equipment for KTS Academy and we would be grateful if you can help them reach their modest target of £500.
"My two beautiful sons attend a very special school called KTS Academy which cares for and educates children with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities). They are massively underfunded, yet do a great job with limited resources. Sport and exercise are really important to me and my boys - they are very active little men, and I'd like to raise £500 to help the school buy some new outdoor equipment for all the kids to enjoy.
I am taking part in TOTAL WARRIOR with a team from Greg Newlands Fitness on 22nd June 2019, and would like you to sponsor me!"

KTS Careers Day
On the 7th March, we held our annual Careers Information Day at KTS+ and KTS3. The day was a huge success and engaged our young people in activities and experiences that will inform them about future options such as day services, education, jobs and careers.
We invited parents to the ‘information hub’ at KTS+, which enabled people from different services to provide guidance and advice to parents on courses, careers advice and benefits and student finance.
KTS would like to thank all of the providers who attended. It was hugely successful and informative for our families and staff. We hope to see you all again next year.

Durham Vocal Festivals, Big Sing & Sign
In January, a group of pupils from our KTS2 & KTS3 choirs attended Durham Vocal Festivals, Big Sing & Sign. The event was lead by OBE Paul Whittaker and included different special schools from across the North East.
