Ivy House School, Derby
"Remarkable...mind blowing. We use a lot of holistic approaches within the school, but this is on a different level.... so special. One particular child, she doesn't like touch at all, she hadn't been touched since September... but within 5 minutes she was embraced and sleeping."
Lynsey, Teaching Assistant, Ivy House School in Derby
Chadsgrove School, Bromsgrove
"Amazing. Wow. Wonderful. All those words. It really brought a sense of what our pupils actually do need. It challenged my own expectations and allowed me to think more about the pupils."
Samantha, PMLD teacher
“I had a little boy that likes to bounce, struggles to regulate himself. When he came in, he was quite difficult to hold in the water, quite bouncy. But after a little while he started to calm and then relax back into the water, and he virtually fell asleep… And when I saw him in the classroom afterwards, he wasn’t bouncing.”
Emma, class teacher
“It’s fantastic to see how [the pupils[ react to the music. When they put their ears under the water and they discover it [the music and vibration], you can feel their bodies relax.” Kasia, PE teacher
“I loved every minute of the training. I thought it was engaging, it was really practical, we could really learn physically how to hold the children in the water and the benefits of the music. It was really in depth and I feel ready now to work with the children now.” Angela, class Teacher
Croftcroighn Primary School, Glasgow
“Staff have noticed a difference with pupil engagement when in the pool. They appear more relaxed, open to touch/ contact, more aware of the environment and generally more comfortable in the water than before. One of our more challenging and anxious pupils is initiating the positions/supports with staff when in the water which is a clear indicator that the practice is enhancing pupils/staff relationships. Another pupil will now allow staff to be near them in the water, which was not tolerated previously." Lesley Connacher, Principal Teacher, Croftcroighn Primary School, Glasgow
