An evening with Barbara Arrowsmith-Young
Changing Brains, Exploring a New Reality Neuroplasticity and Learning for students.
Students, especially those with learning differences like dyslexia, attention deficit issues and auditory processing difficulties benefit greatly from this programme, available at Marsden School.
Barbara Arrowsmith-Young is the founder of the 'Arrowsmith Program', a cognitive training programme which uses exercises to stimulate areas of the brain responsible for skills such as reading, writing, listening, processing, coordination, logical thinking and social awareness. Hear about this innovative educational approach from its founder and learn about the latest research into neuroplasticity.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
