Active Schools fully encourages children with physical, sensory and learning disabilities to attend our sessions. We invite parents and carers to talk to us about their child’s specific needs and to let us know about any measures we should put in place to accommodate their child. If there is a need for one-to-one supervision of the child we would invite a carer or parent along to the sessions.
All participants at Active Schools sessions are expected to follow our Code of Conduct
