Here at YES @ Areté Learning Trust we strive to promote an understanding of Specific Learning Differences in order to support students/pupils, parents and professionals.

We focus on:

  • the early identification of children and young people’s needs and early intervention to support them.
  • the development of inclusive practice in order to remove
  • barriers to learning.
  • the provision of high-quality training.

 

We offer:

  • support with developing inclusive practice in different settings.
  • solution focused meetings with school staff, parents and
  • pupils to identify barriers to learning.
  • analysis of current provision focusing on impact, individual
  • pupil assessment with comprehensive reporting.
  • support with planning and the delivery of personalised
  • literacy and numeracy programmes.
  • progress reviews in person or by telephone.
  • access arrangements for external exams for KS4 and KS5.

 

We believe that the relationship between schools, professionals and parents is incredibly important, which is why we promote a ‘Parents as Partners’ ethos.

The SEND Code of Practice places great importance on involving parents and children in identifying, understanding and taking decisions about special educational needs. We work with parents, recognising the importance of neurodiversity, to create unique pupil profiles.

For parents be at the heart of decision making about their child, it is helpful for them to be fully informed about their child’s needs.

We liaise with a number of parents support group and offer:

  • bespoke support.
  • workshops, meetings and specialist information sharing.
  • reduced rates on all our training events for parents/carers.

Dancing for All

6-Week Inclusive Dance Programme at Richmond School

Dancing for All

Dancing for All is an inclusive programme for children aged 5–15, creating an opportunity for children to explore movement, creativity and self-expression together with their friends and peers.

The programme has been designed with children in mind who may experience barriers to participating in traditional dance or physical activities. However, Dancing for All is for everyone. Children who experience barriers and those who don't can take part alongside each other, enjoying the same activity and experiencing the benefits of being active and creative together.

What can children expect?

These are not traditional dance lessons. Instead, the sessions offer a relaxed, playful and creative environment where children can explore movement in their own way.

Through the sessions, children will have opportunities to:

  • Explore movement and creativity
  • Develop confidence and self-expression
  • Build physical awareness and coordination
  • Try new things in a supportive environment
  • Make connections and enjoy being active with others
  • Celebrate their own individuality while participating alongside their peers

At the heart of Dancing for All is the belief that differences shouldn't mean doing things separately. The programme provides an opportunity for children with different strengths, abilities and needs to participate together, have fun and enjoy an activity where everyone belongs.
