SEND PROVISION AT LITTLE ATHLETES
At Little Athletes, we believe every child deserves the chance to experience the joy of being active, regardless of their abilities or the challenges they face.
Over the years, we've been incredibly privileged to work with hundreds of children with additional needs, and every child has taught us something different. We know there isn't a "one size fits all" approach. Every child is unique, and that's exactly how we believe they should be treated.
As parents, you know your child better than anyone. You want them to feel safe, understood, included and, most importantly, happy. That's exactly what we aim to create every time a child joins one of our sessions.
Our SEND journey began in Special Schools, where we now deliver weekly PE lessons alongside fantastic teachers and support staff. Spending time in schools every week has allowed us to build genuine relationships with children, families and school teams. Those relationships have helped shape everything we do today and have led to the development of our successful SEND holiday clubs and community sessions.
We're passionate about creating opportunities for every child to enjoy sport and physical activity in an environment where they can simply be themselves. We celebrate every achievement, whether that's joining in for the first time, making a new friend, trying a new activity or growing in confidence week after week.
"We understand that finding activities where your child feels truly understood can sometimes feel overwhelming. We want you to know that you're not alone, and that's exactly why we created our SEND provision."
Specialised PE Provision within Special Schools
Delivering PE within Special Schools isn't just another service we offer. It's something we're incredibly passionate about.
Every week, we work with children with a wide range of additional needs, adapting every session to suit the children in front of us. We understand that every class is different and that success looks different for every child. Our focus is never just on sport. It's about building confidence, encouraging communication, developing physical skills and creating an environment where children genuinely enjoy being active.
We love working alongside teachers and support staff, sharing ideas and building lasting relationships within schools. Our PE CPD programme is designed to give school staff practical ideas, new activities and the confidence to continue delivering engaging, inclusive PE long after we've left.
Above everything else, we want schools to feel like we're part of the team. We care deeply about the children we work with, and we're proud of the trust we've built within Special Schools across Staffordshire.
If you're looking for a PE provider that genuinely understands SEND and is passionate about making a difference, we'd love to hear from you.

SEND HOLIDAY CLUBS
Finding the right holiday club for a child with SEND isn't always easy. We know many families worry about whether their child will feel comfortable, whether staff will understand their needs or whether they'll be able to join in and enjoy themselves.
That's why our SEND Holiday Clubs have been created with inclusion at the heart of everything we do.
From the moment children arrive, our aim is to make them feel welcome, relaxed and excited for the day ahead. Whether they love being active from the start or need a little extra time and reassurance, we'll meet them where they are and help them settle in at their own pace.
Our experienced team delivers exciting sports, games, sensory activities, creative play and themed experiences, all carefully adapted to suit the children attending each session. More importantly, we take the time to get to know every child. Building trust, understanding routines and celebrating each child's personality is what makes our clubs so special.
There's nothing better than seeing a child who was nervous on their first day arrive a few weeks later with a huge smile, excited to see our team again. Moments like those are exactly why we do what we do.
If you're a parent looking for a holiday club where your child will feel safe, understood and included, we'd love to welcome you to one of our sessions.
If your child would like to attend one of our clubs, or you'd like to be added to our waiting list for future venues, please get in touch.
We're also always keen to hear from schools that would like us to deliver SEND Holiday Clubs from their own setting. We'd love to chat about how we can work together to support even more children and families.
"At Little Athletes, we don't just deliver SEND provision. We build relationships, create opportunities and help every child discover just how capable they really are"
lOOKING AHEAD
We're incredibly proud of how far our SEND provision has come, but we know this is only the beginning.
Our ambition is to bring high-quality, inclusive physical activity to more children, more families and more Special Schools across the UK. Every child deserves the opportunity to move, play, laugh, make friends and feel like they belong.
We can't wait to meet more amazing children, build new partnerships with schools and continue making a positive difference in communities across the country.
We'd love you to be part of that journey. Get in touch today to find out how Little Athletes can support your family or your school.
