World Syndrome Day

On Monday March 21st it's World Down Syndrome Day and to celebrate we're asking students to wear colourful socks to school in support.

What's it all about? The #LotsOfSocks campaign exists to raise awareness of Down syndrome. #LotsOfSocks helps us to get people talking on World Down Syndrome Day

All you need to do is choose some socks that are going to get noticed - they might be mismatched socks or your craziest and most colourful socks, whatever takes your fancy!
