Sensory Curriculum

At Ysgol Hen Felin, we recognise that every child is unique and has individual strengths, interests, and learning needs. We are committed to providing a personalised approach that enables each learner to access meaningful and engaging learning experiences.

Our Sensory Curriculum is founded on the understanding that learning takes place through the senses. It supports learners to develop awareness of themselves, others, and the world around them, while encouraging communication, interaction, engagement, and progress at a pace that is appropriate to their individual needs.

The curriculum is highly personalised and flexible, ensuring it remains responsive to each pupil's developmental stage and learning profile. It seamlessly integrates educational, therapeutic, health, wellbeing, and personal development opportunities, celebrating every achievement and recognising the unique journey of each learner.

Learning experiences are delivered through carefully planned sensory opportunities that incorporate sight, sound, touch, taste, smell, movement, and balance. These experiences provide meaningful and engaging ways for pupils to explore concepts, develop understanding, and make connections with the world around them.

To support our Sensory Curriculum, Ysgol Hen Felin offers a wide range of specialist resources and approaches, including:

• Switch-access technology
• Sensory rooms
• Touch therapy sessions
• Relaxation sessions
• Rebound Therapy
• Hydrotherapy pool
• Flexi-Bounce Therapy
• MOVE (Movement Opportunities via Education)
• Intensive Interaction

Our sensory approach ensures that pupils access a broad, balanced, and enriching curriculum that is tailored to their individual needs. Teaching approaches are carefully adapted to reflect each learner's communication, mobility, sensory preferences, and personal targets.

Every pupil is provided with opportunities to develop their skills, independence, confidence, and wellbeing within a stimulating and supportive learning environment. Through these personalised experiences, we strive to help all learners achieve their full potential and experience success in their own meaningful way.
