Special Educational Needs & Disabilities

Stortford Gymnastics welcomes children with special requirements as part of an all-inclusive policy.

Where possible, the children are integrated into our regular classes. We will invite you to an introductory lesson for your child to meet us, and then we will work with parents/carers to find the best class for you. Additional coaching support can be provided, and we can work with parents/guardians to organise this.

We also run some SEND specific sessions, see details below.

After a welcome activity, the gym is yours to explore together. Parents/Carers are also in the gym working alongside their child, with a qualified coach on hand to give advice, and suggest appropriate activities. About 5 minutes before the end of the session, we will tidy up with a closing activity.

Please note that children remain the responsibility of Parents/Carers at all times
