Boating pond
Kids love messing around in boats and the pond is a great place for doing just that – without even having to leave the campus.
Under supervision, pupils can take out kayaks, canoes and even a catamaran. Pupils find the sensory experience of being on the water hugely enjoyable and often very calming, and we use the pond for a range of learning activities including balance and kinaesthetic awareness.
The pond has a hoist for helping people in and out of the water, which makes it accessible to all.
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.
