The Partnerships for Inclusion in Neurodiversity in Schools (PINS) project is a collaborative effort involving education settings, Local Authorities, Parent Carer Forums, and the Integrated Care Board (ICB). A key objective is to strengthen partnerships and improve communication between schools, parents, and carers through shared understanding and inclusive practices.

The PINS Project
Supporting Primary Schools
During the initial pilot year, 40 mainstream primary schools benefited from tailored support provided by NHS neurodiversity and CAMHS services, educational psychologists, specialist teachers, and training delivered by private, voluntary, and community sector organisations. We have actively gathered feedback and reflected on our learnings to refine and enhance the training offer for both new and returning schools in year two.
Building on the success of the pilot year, 30 mainstream primary schools have been selected—based on their expressions of interest—to join the initiative in 2024–2025. Each participating school will receive 37.5 hours of specialist-led training, coaching, and support designed to enhance understanding of neurodiversity and embed a needs-led approach across all school staff.
