Physical Development

Physical Development 

Our focus on physical development is to prepare pupils for their next stage.  In Pathway 1 this uses the MOVE programme to work on pupil targets where children have PMLD.  This may include working on the development of posture, to sitting/standing unaided or with the support of equipment.  This is very much delivered alongside our colleagues from NHS Physio and with parents and carers as partners.

In Pathways 2 and 3, our focus is on the fundamental movement skills that pupils require to take part in other activities and to access the exercise that they need to take part in games and exercises they may enjoy as they grow.

In Pathway 4, a heavily adapted National Curriculum is offered with pupils taking part in games and activities that require them to use their other skills alongside their more developed movement skills in a sporting context.
