  • Small group support with our Sendco and Pastoral staff, focusing on building resilience and independence.

  • Ongoing training for all of our staff in supporting learning and the development of social and communication skills, as well as opportunities for outdoor learning including Forest School and community visits.

PE & Sports Premium

At Stone Hill School we use the PE and Sport Premium funding to enhance the curriculum and wider opportunities for pupils to improve motor and social skills while developing the knowledge and skills for successful participation in physical activity.  There is a strong focus on enjoyment and pupils exploring various options for physical activity in order to be able to identify their preferred activities. This approach provides pupils with stepping stones on which to build when moving to Upper School thus giving them opportunities to access a wide variety of PE and extra-curricular activities. 

Our programme includes a daily sensory circuit, allowing pupils the opportunity to self-regulate before they begin their formal learning.  This also supports pupils in developing behaviours that support their learning and progress.   

To further develop and promote a healthy lifestyle for all pupils, pupil shave access to a range of bicycles, tricycles and go-carts as well as a wide variety of other outdoor activities.  Our extended outdoor learning area has provided a safe place for pupils to learn through play and physical activity. The school recognises that having the skills and confidence to ride a bike safely can further develop life skills in the wider community.
