A Day at Active Minds.
A structured day that balances education, movement, regulation and relationships.
Each day is carefully planned to provide clear routines while allowing staff to respond to individual needs, readiness to learn and opportunities for regulation.
Move. Focus. Grow.
A clear structure, with flexibility built in
The provision day runs from 09:00–14:00 and follows a predictable rhythm. Clear routines help pupils know what to expect, while staff retain the flexibility to respond to readiness, regulation and individual need.
Arrival, learning, movement, planned breaks and reflection provide a familiar structure that pupils can build confidence within.
CLEAR ROUTINES
SHORT LEARNING BLOCKS
Reading, writing and mathematics are delivered in focused 30-minute sessions, helping pupils maintain attention and experience success.
RESPONSIVE SUPPORT
The pace and order of the day can be adjusted when needed, allowing pupils time to regulate without losing sight of educational priorities.
What a day can look like
The exact order may vary according to individual need, but pupils experience a consistent balance of learning, movement, regulation and reflection across the day.
ARRIVE & REGULATE
A calm start, check-in and preparation for learning.
LEARN
Focused reading, writing and mathematics in short, structured learning blocks.
MOVE
Purposeful physical activity, including non-contact martial arts, Jujitsu and multi-sport.
REST & REGULATE
Planned breaks, relationship-led support and opportunities to reset.
REFLECT & PROGRESS
Recognise success, review progress and prepare for the next step.
Structure provides predictability, but the quality of the day comes from how staff use relationships, regulation and purposeful activity to help pupils remain engaged.
More than a timetable
REGULATION THROUGHOUT THE DAY
Regulation is not limited to designated breaks. Staff respond throughout the day, helping pupils recognise when they need support, movement or time to reset.
RELATIONSHIPS & SUPPORT
Small groups allow staff to know pupils well, provide consistent boundaries and recognise when encouragement, challenge or additional support is needed.
SUCCESS & PROGRESS
Success is recognised across the day, from completing learning and managing emotions to participating positively and becoming more independent.
