Cheam Celebrates Neurodiversity Week

Published by Cheam School on Monday 23rd of March 2026

Cheam has celebrated Neurodiversity Week through a range of activities, encouraging all pupils to think about their own unique strengths and brain differences. During break times, the children were challenged to think outside the box as they worked to construct spaghetti towers. Their problem‑solving skills were put to the test in the balance the potato activity, and their creativity was sparked through reflective chalk drawing.


At Digests, pupils had great fun celebrating neurodiverse brains through team challenges involving Maltesers, straws, and plenty of team spirit! Our community is full of the most incredible neurodiverse minds, and they are truly a credit to our school.
