PINS
Welcome to the PINS Project 2025-2026.
Partnerships for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools (PINS) is a national programme which brings together health and education workforces and expert parent carers into mainstream primary schools to:
- Help shape whole school SEND provision.
- Provide early interventions at a school level.
- Upskill school staff.
- Support strengthening of partnerships between schools and parent carers.
In the overall aim to improve positive outcomes for neurodivergent children, supporting them to achieve and thrive.
Neurodiversity describes the population as a whole and recognises the diversity of different brains.
Neurotypical describes most of the population, the majority group that experiences and processes the world in the same way.
Neurodivergent describes the minority group that experiences and processes the world in a different way. This may include Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, and Dyspraxia to name a few.
The PINS Project in Enfield will run until March 2026. It will be delivered in 10 Primary Schools in Enfield, as well as continuing with support in the 5 Primary Schools that took part in the 2024-2025 PINS programme.
Our Voice is supporting the delivery of PINS at a strategic level in the local area, through involvement in the local partnership and support to the project delivery team. We are also responsible for delivery of the parent carer engagement activity in all the participating schools.
During the project, we will be:
- Running coffee mornings at all participating schools;
- Offering training and webinars on topics that parent carers have highlighted they need to know about;
- Newsletters, letting parent carers know about what is happening in the project, events and opportunities that they and their families can get involved in;
- Running Peer Disability Training for schools.
“What support should my child receive in school?” Webinar
On 12th November 2025 we ran a webinar on what support children with additional needs should recieve in school, as part of what is known as ‘Ordinarily Available Provision’. You can see the information from this session on this news page.
Our Parent Carers Survey.
For the 6 participating schools, we really want to hear from all the parents about their experience with their school. There will be two surveys in the project. One which we are conducting at the beginning of the project and one at the end.
If you know your school is participating in PINS, please feel free to take part in our survey at https://forms.gle/g9vPyhATGoxzEEDS9
