Occupational Therapy

Courtlands School delivers exceptional Occupational Therapy (OT) support for students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), making a real difference to their learning across all subjects. Our Occupational Therapists approach combines expertise, creativity, and empathy, ensuring each student receives personalised strategies tailored to their individual strengths and challenges.

Through targeted interventions, they help students develop essential skills such as fine and gross motor coordination, posture, and self-regulation. These improvements directly impact classroom participation, enabling students to write more confidently, use tools effectively, and engage fully in activities across subjects, from practical science experiments to creative arts and physical education.

They work closely with teachers and support staff, embedding OT strategies into everyday lessons rather than treating them as separate interventions. This consistent, whole-school approach allows students to apply new skills in multiple contexts, reinforcing learning and promoting independence.

Beyond physical skills, their support addresses sensory needs and emotional regulation, helping students focus, manage anxiety, and participate confidently in group work. This holistic approach boosts engagement, self-esteem, and academic progress across the curriculum.

Their dedication, skill, and innovation exemplify the impact of Occupational Therapy at Courtlands School. Their work empowers students to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, making a lasting difference in their educational journey.
