Outdoor learning for pupils with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND)

Activities at the parks can be adapted to suit the physical and/or learning requirements of all groups.

As a team, we appreciate that quite often there is a whole new way of looking at the world and we are keen to take part in this journey with groups and students of all ages and abilities.

We can work on long-term projects with organisations to support the development of life skills and promote positive engagement within the community.

Contact Parks and countryside education officer if this is something you feel your group would benefit from.
