About ST&R

ST&R (Support, Training & Resources) is a Down Syndrome UK initiative for primary school age children (4-11 years).

We aim to ensure parents and professionals have access to the information and support that they need – the reality of what living with Down syndrome looks like in modern Britain, as well as ongoing peer support and expert advice to get the most out of their primary school education.

Resources for parents and professionals

Starting school, for any child and their family, is
an important milestone. Here at Down Syndrome
UK, we feel it is essential to share good practice
to help support schools to feel confident and
positive about welcoming a child with Down
syndrome into their settings.
