Rivington & Blackrod Marks National Autism Awareness Week
Thursday, 2nd April 2026
Rivington & Blackrod High School and Sixth Form marked National Autism Awareness Week by lighting the school in blue, creating a visible show of support for neurodiversity across the school community.
The week provided an important opportunity to raise awareness, celebrate differences and promote understanding. Students and staff took time to learn more about autism and reflect on how the school can continue to build an inclusive environment where everyone feels supported.
Lighting the school in blue served as a simple but meaningful way to bring the community together and highlight the importance of inclusion.
Thank you to everyone who took part.
