Deep dives
Offering High-Quality SEND Provision
Providing quiet and focused SEND provision during lunchtime can support children with special educational needs and disabilities, particularly those with social, emotional, and mental health challenges. By offering a structured environment with activities like card games or crafting, children can have a positive alternative to the busy and overwhelming lunchtime setting. This type of provision encourages proactive support rather than punitive measures, allowing children to engage in positive activities while still having social interaction opportunities.
