For PE, Dance & Performing Arts Leads

This Inclusive Dance CPD, is delivered by Sports Development Officer (Twynham Learning) and SEN dance specialist, Christina Binney, and Performing Arts Teacher at Victoria SEN School, Joanne Collingbourne. This 2 hour practical session will focus on inclusive practice in mainstream PE and Dance settings, supporting staff to better understand the diverse needs of students with SEND, particularly ADHD and autistic learners. 

Recommended for core PE and Dance staff (across Primary and Secondary) and any Class Teachers who deliver movement-based activities with their classes 

The session will explore how SEND may present in physical and movement-based learning and how teaching approaches can be adapted to promote inclusion, engagement, and regulation. Staff will be introduced to practical, movement-based strategies that support participation for all students, alongside the use of inclusive language to reframe behaviour and build positive relationships. The CPD also covers how to plan and deliver accessible dance lessons that foster creative, supportive learning environments, promoting confidence, motivation and meaningful participation for students with a wide range of needs.

‘Inclusion is not bringing people into what already exists; it is making a new space, a better space for everyone’
