What will my day be like? 

The children that are successful through panel, will often have a negative view of school so we try to make their first days/weeks fun and less demanding as it would be in a school setting. We try to keep our activities short and reward based and use a Token economy system and Class Dojo rewards to encourage children to take part. 

In all of our activities we focus on the '6 core strengths' and the Zones of Regulation' to help a child begin to understand their emotions. As time goes by we will introduce more formal learning lessons, but try to deliver them along with a child's interests.

We endeavour to keep a very close partnership with a child's home school, so they will spend a normal school day back in their school on Fridays with the support of a member of the Rainbow Room staff every other week. Children are also encouraged to return to their home school for any school trips or special activities that are scheduled to ensure their sense of belonging.
