History

Dawn House was opened by the charity I CAN in 1974 to support children aged 5-11 years old with speech and language disorders. In 1988, the school opened a secondary department to accommodate for children between the ages of 11-16 years old. In 2006, Dawn House continued to expand by opening a further education department for sixth form students.

Specialisms

Pupils with severe speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) or Asperger’s Syndrome can be referred to the specialist school. Pupils are referred when they have severe and complex needs, which cannot be met in local mainstream schools, units for pupils with language impairments or other special schools.

Dawn House is also able cater for a number of other difficulties that are typically associated with SLCN. These include: learning difficulties, behavioural modulation, problems with attention and memory, motor dyspraxia, sensory difficulties, autistic spectrum difficulties, emotional problems, difficulties with friendships and social relationships, poor self-image and low self-esteem.

School

Dawn House has 96 places for boys and girls aged between 5-19 years old and has a mixture of day pupils and residential students that board on a weekly basis. The school has a range of on-site facilities including an art and design technology suite, a drama studio, ICT suites, a sports hall, indoor heated swimming pool and outdoor playing fields.

gollark: I'm considering implementing the assembler in JS or Python or Rust or something, but it *would* be nice to have this available from within potatOS.
gollark: Honestly that's entirely unnecessary and I would probably only need simple splitting into lines and label handling, but you know.
gollark: That's how you would do it in my thing, using a somewhat insane S-expression assembly-ish language.
gollark: Using hypothetical assembly syntax I haven't actually implemented:```# start of memory to add kittens to(add r1 r0 0x1000) # maybe there would be nice dedicated syntax for "set register" actually# end of kittenized region(add r2 r0 0x1600)(label loop (add r3 r0 40) (poke r3 r1 0) (add r3 r0 94) (poke r3 r1 1) # and so on (add r1 r1 8) (jlt r1 r2 loop))```
gollark: To create RAM kittens, all you need to do is `ADD` the ASCII value of each character into a temporary register, `POKE` them into the right memory location (using the per-instruction `POKE` offset, probably), and then do that in a loop.
