Founded by Hayley, a dedicated professional with over a decade of experience in Special Education, Sendsory® was created to address a critical gap in support for children awaiting specialist placement. Hayley recognised that these children need a different approach to traditional education to truly thrive, as they were missing out on essential development in areas such as social skills, emotional wellbeing, physical development and life skills.

At Sendsory®, our approach is founded on understanding and supporting the emotional wellbeing of every child. We are actively working towards becoming a fully trauma-informed school, ensuring that every aspect of our provision is shaped by compassion, safety and trust. Central to our approach is our bespoke therapeutic curriculum GROW and our Resilience Tracker, both of which are designed to identify and meet the individual needs of each child. Through consistent, nurturing relationships and a strong emphasis on emotional regulation and resilience, we create an environment where children feel secure, valued and empowered to thrive.

Each member of our highly skilled team, specialising in SEND and Trauma Informed, works in alignment with our Therapeutic Curriculum, GROW. Recognising that every child is different, we conduct a thorough assessment during the referral process to understand their needs and adapt the curriculum accordingly. This personalised approach helps children to regulate emotions, build resilience and enhance communication and social skills.
