Network Learning Pathways
Network Learning Pathways
We are an alternative learning provision during term times. In the Easter, Summer and Christmas school holidays we use our space, The Grange, for our HAF provision. It is set in a beautiful landscape which promotes psychological safety and wellbeing and has large indoor and outdoor spaces plus breakout spaces, and an equipped kitchen, all of which can be used flexibly for physical activity and creativity. All food and refreshments will be cooked and prepared on site by our own team of staff. Children can be involved in preparing their own food e.g. buttering their toast, peeling vegetables, making cookies and their desert for the next day. We will offer a balance of structured tuition and free play and have a big enough indoor space to ensure physical activity can continue in adverse weather. We can adapt the activities to incorporate any children with mobility difficulties. Each session is carefully planned with flexibility in mind, so that children can access activities in a way that works best for them, whether through sensory play, quiet zones, creative expression, outdoor exploration, or movement-based experiences. We will utilise the same staff who work within our alternative learning provision. All these staff are well trained, experienced and used to creating fun and engaging activities for children.
