Friends of Pathways is a charity that raises money to support Pathways School. Our school provides for the needs of 4-11 year old pupils with severe and complex learning difficulties, 93% of them having a diagnosis of autism. We fundraise to provide enhanced outside education for our children. Our pupils need an environment in which they can flourish, and in order to help them cope with the social and sensory demands of both school and the wider community, we need to be able to provide the individual solutions that will enable them to participate and learn. The fundraising we do, is focused on providing the appropriate tools and areas for our children to receive high quality experiences, tailored for each child, in order to support their needs and manage their anxieties and challenging behaviour. Our children need somewhere which is physically challenging but safe, where they can climb, clamber and crawl, navigate, negotiate, swing, run and jump. They need to have areas where they can interact with their peers, share bikes, take turns, race and chase. We also fundraise to provide them with quiet areas where they can relax, with reduced sensory input, but where they can be encouraged to develop imaginative play. We aim to create areas where our pupils can explore and learn from a range of sensory play opportunities such as water, sand and other materials, as well as themed areas. This versatile environment will enable staff to motivate the children at Pathways School to experiment, interact, and play, through access to an enriched and creative curriculum in order to support their learning and meet their diverse needs.
