 We offer the "Jump Ahead" programme to a number of pupils in Key Stage 1. Jump Ahead’, a joint initiative developed by the Inclusion Support Team, Occupational and Physiotherapy Services, is a graded intervention programme devised for children with motor co-ordination difficulties.
Research indicates that approximately 6% of children experience significant difficulties with motor co-ordination, which impacts on learning and may affect self-esteem and confidence. ![Jump Ahead Programme]() We use the ‘Jump Ahead’ handbook which was devised to support schools in meeting the needs of these children, focusing on sensory motor integration and perceptual motor skills. The programme comprises three termly stages, which are colour coded. Each stage incorporates five focus areas with five tasks for each area, providing a range of activities for developing skills. Each activity outlines the task, its purpose, equipment required and suggested observation points. Progress is monitored throughout the programme and includes a pre and post assessment.
Mrs Burrows, Inclusion Manager co-ordinated the programme in school, the sessions are led by Mrs Grantham. If your child has problems with co-ordination and you would like him/her to be considered for this programme please contact Mrs Burrows via the school office. |
