On Wednesday 15 October, Cardinal Nichols visited Newman Catholic College in Brent to officially open a new 'St Carlo Acutis Block'. The new facility is an Aditionally Resourced Provision (ARP), which is a specialist unit within a mainstream school that provides targeted support and enhanced resources for students with higher levels of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Pupils in an ARP have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and receive specialised teaching in small classes, with opportunities to join mainstream classes for some learning and social interaction.
In a short reflection, Cardinal Nichols said:
'We hope this building, dedicated to St Carlo, will be a 'Galilee', a place where people gather and under his protection, find their way to contribute to this pilgrimage, rooted in faith.'
More to follow.
