Special Educational Needs Foundation classes is for school age children. The focus is on developing fundamental movement skills and confidence through a positive, supportive and fun environment.

In this class coaches adapt instructional styles to include visual strategies, a range of stimulus variation in a quiet, calm and relaxed setting. Opportunities for learning will be paced appropriately for each gymnast.

This class has a high coaching ratio which enables coaches to support gymnasts throughout the session and the semi-structured nature of the class allows for flexibility and adaptations to be made as necessary.

If children progress well in this class we support them to join one of our other classes to ensure they remain challenged. Depending on gymnasts needs, parents may be asked to accompany their child during classes.

There are six blocks of lessons per year, in line with the Somerset Schools calendar. Lessons are booked in half-termly blocks and the free taster session does not apply.

Please note this session is strictly for Special Educational Needs children and their families, with smaller session sizes.
