At present we have a staff of two physiotherapists and four assistants, who work chiefly in the classroom enabling students to access the curriculum. This may be by helping a student to actively participate in a task, position them into special seating or standing frame or assist with walking to the next lesson sometimes using the support of a walking frame.

The physiotherapy team is also involved in assisting with PE and Hydrotherapy sessions and drawing up lesson plans in conjunction with class teachers.

The care staff team helps us to maintain a 24 hr programme by carrying out stretching and movement programmes and assist with individual mobility tasks at evenings and weekends. With advice from the physiotherapy team, they also help with posture control by positioning students in special seating, night lying supports and with fitting orthoses.
