Occupational Therapy at Pond Meadow
OT supports children and young people to engage in everyday life activities which are important for their health, learning, and wellbeing.
These include:
-self-care, (such as dressing or eating a meal)
-productivity (such as going to nursery or school, or volunteering)
-leisure (such as playing at home or with friends, doing hobbies or after school activities)
Our OT team works closely with children, families, and school staff to understand what daily life looks like for each individual child, to help them grow, learn and thrive.

Today is Safer Internet Day, an event organised throughout the UK. It aims to promote the safe, responsible, and positive use of digital technology for children and young people. At Pond Meadow students explore ways they can keep safe when using the internet.

This week is @_place2be Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week, with the theme ‘This is my place’ focussing on support systems around children to help them feel like they belong. At Pond Meadow, mental health and emotional regulation are a key priority. Every day, we support our pupils to develop the skills needed to recognise feelings, and use strategies to help meet their individual needs.
We understand that this can be more challenging at times, particularly for children with SEND. That’s why we’re proud to have staff trained in ELSA and Drawing and Talking Therapy. We also work closely with external agencies such as Mindworks to ensure our students receive the right support at the right time.
By working together, we help our students feel safe, understood and supported, today and every day.
