Inclusive Holiday Provision During July and August

Inclusive holiday support for children with Special Educational Needs

Structured Holiday Support for a Range of Needs

Our Inclusive Holiday Provision delivers professionally facilitated, structured holiday programmes designed to provide safe, engaging and purposeful experiences for children and young people.

We offer tiered provision to ensure that children can access the right level of support for their needs, from community-based group sessions to specialist sensory-led environments.

All sessions are delivered by trained staff within safe, well-managed settings

Tier 1 – Community Holiday Club

Mainstream & Lower-Level SEND – Larger Group Provision

This is a structured, community-style holiday club suitable for mainstream children and those with mild or lower-level SEND who are able to participate in a larger group environment

The focus is on:

Structured group activities
Creativity and practical projects
Teamwork and cooperation
Practical life-skills
Community-based experiences

This is inclusive provision but not specialist high-needs support

Structured SEND Sensory Pod (Small Group)

Moderate Needs – Smaller Group Setting

Designed for children who require smaller groups, predictable routines and sensory-aware facilitation.

This provision may suit children with:

Autism
Moderate learning disabilities
Emotional regulation needs
Anxiety in larger environments

What to expect:

Low-arousal structured sessions
Sensory activities
Regulation-focused spaces
Personalised support approaches
Independence-building tasks

Smaller group sizes and enhanced staff presence ensure safe and supported participation.

Higher-Needs / PMLD Sensory Sessions

Specialist, Shorter-Day Provision

This specialist tier is designed for children and young people with more complex needs, including PMLD.

Sessions include:

TACPAC-led movement and music
Structured sensory engagement
Calm, low-demand environments
Personalised support within fully accessible facilities

Sessions are delivered at The Selsey Centre due to accessibility features, including wheelchair access and Changing Places facilities

Personal Assistants (PAs) are required to attend with their child for this provision.

The Care Pod Pathways facilitates structured sensory sessions. Personal Assistants remain responsible for all personal care and medical needs during sessions.

Our Approach

Across all tiers, our holiday provision remains:

Professional – Delivered by trained staff
Structured – Planned sessions with clear focus
Wellbeing-led – Supporting regulation, confidence and positive engagement
Appropriately matched – Children placed in the most suitable tier for safety and success

We aim to create environments where children feel secure, included and able to participate at a level that works for them.
