Physical development plays a very important part of the curriculum at Oak View School and we are committed to developing physical activities that are suited to our pupils’ needs.

At Oak View we recoginse that Physical Education for our pupils differs from the traditional PE, and that many pupils are on early learning or ‘pre-learning’ phases of PE and our priority is preparing them for PE. The grant is used to employ specialist occupational therapists who support our pupils with sensory integration by assessing pupils, and working with teachers to create and deliver sensory integration sessions. Each pupil has their own individual SI programme.

2020-2021
