SEND Gymnastics
SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS AND DISABILITIES GYMNASTICS
Our Special Education, Needs, and Disabilities (SEND) sessions welcome individuals who may benefit from extra support not readily available in other classes. These sessions prioritise recognising and enhancing each person's abilities rather than focusing on limitations. With smaller class sizes and the option for one-on-one coaching where suitable, we aim to create an inclusive and supportive environment. We ask parents to accompany their children in all SEND sessions, fostering a collaborative and nurturing experience.
