Sensory Circuits at Home
At school, many of our pupils use Sensory Circuits to help their bodies and brains feel ready, regulated and supported. These can be just as effective at home and can fit naturally into daily routines.
🌈 How Sensory Circuits work
Sensory Circuits follow a specific order to support regulation of the nervous system:
1: Alerting activities
2:Organising activities
3:Calming activities
This order is important. Each stage prepares the body for the next.
– Spend around 10 minutes on each stage
– Not every child needs alerting activities: if your child is already very alert, you can begin with organising, then move to calming.
🌙 At bedtime
Having sensory Circuits as part of your bedtime routine can support regulation and help the body slow down, making sleep more achievable.
✨ In the morning
Sensory circuits can help children feel ready to start the day. … See MoreSee Less

📚Teaching & Learning Tuesday
Our Falcons have restarted their Tuesday morning visits to the Stockyard Market and the learning on offer is brilliant to see.
Students are developing key life skills by planning and crafting items, handling money, interacting with the public and learning about profits. These real‑life experiences help build confidence, communication and independence.
Even better, the money raised is being saved towards exciting summer events; giving the learning a clear and meaningful purpose.
If you find yourself looking for something to do on a Tuesday please go and visit the Falcons market stall at the Stockyard.
We’re so proud of how our Falcons represent themselves and the school in the community 🌟 … See MoreSee Less
