Fitness gym
Our state of the art gym plays a big role in our commitment towards a more healthy lifestyle for all our pupils. With a wide range of cardiovascular and resistance equipment, including treadmills, rowing machines, bikes, step machines and cross trainers, there’s something for everyone – however fit or able they are.
We encourage all children to take part in low intensity cardiovascular work and personal fitness programmes (where possible), and not only for the fitness benefits. There’s a real sense of achievement that comes from setting personal goals in the gym and then meeting them.
Several machines have been adapted to allow students with physical disabilities to use them safely.
My grandson has a severe epileptic condition. He has Lennox Gaustaut syndrome and difficult to control seizures. He can have many seizures throughout day and night. He was attending a special needs school but when he became the age of 16-17 years they could not meet his medical needs or physical needs. It was discussed that he would benefit from going to Young Epilepsy. How lucky he is to go there. It is an absolute school of excellence. He does and goes places that I never thought he would do. The heads, the teachers and all professional people are there to give and help with advice, care, and the vast experience of epilepsy. He cooks, swims, canoeing, archery and lots more. He is very happy and so am I. I do not worry about him as I have every confidence in everyone at the Young Epilepsy.
