At Greenhall, we recognise that if a child’s sensory needs are not met, they are not in a position to learn. Thus, all of our staff have been trained in sensory integration. We have also purchased the support of an Occupational Therapist to assess and develop programmes to address children’s needs.

We have a range of equipment to support children’s sensory needs including Paddy’s playground, a hammock in the sensory room, a bouncy mat, spinning chairs and platforms, along with other resources. These provide opportunities to meet the sensory needs of some of our learners and help them to self-regulate.

Where appropriate, sensory circuits are built into the daily routine to provide opportunities to regulate in order that they are able to focus on tailored learning activities.
