Light Years School provides a small, nurturing environment that ensures pupils feel safe and secure.  We have designed our classrooms with the children’s mental health and well-being at the core.  Our spaces have been specifically designed to ensure that the learning environment is:

 - Neurodiverse Sensitive
 - Low sensory stimulating
 - Attachment aware
 - Trauma informed
 - Calm, relaxed and inclusive
  

Classrooms are designed to help remove potential barriers around entering a typical classroom or learning environment.  We provide a mixture of soft furnishing and sensory items to allow pupils to learn successful regulation strategies, ensuring they are ready to learn.
 
Pupils will also be supported with the use of visual aids to develop effective communication and understanding of the educational setting. Pupils will benefit from a universal approach that makes the learning environment accessible and predictable, reducing anxiety and increasing confidence.
