What will my day be like? 

Many children who join us have been finding school really stressful. They may not be managing with a full time timetable, so we provide a gradual transition into Rainbow Room.

Our usual school day will run from 9.30am to 2.30pm Monday through to Thursday. This timetable will helps parents and carers with the drop off to Rainbow Room, especially if they have other children to drop off at school.

Week 1

9:30 - 12pm 

Week 2

9:30 - 1pm (stay for lunch)

Week 3

9:30 - 2pm (stay for half the afternoon session) 

Week 4 onwards 

9:30 - 2.30pm (stay for a full day) 

Each child's need is individual, therefore the transition timetable above is there for a guide. We look at each child and discuss a transition that will be the most successful. It may require extra days/weeks for a child to be settled to stay until our 2.30pm close.

You will be coming to Rainbow Room from Monday to Thursday. You will make lots of new friends and someone from your school will visit you once a week to share your successes. Every Friday, you will attend your ‘home school’, to make sure you keep in touch with your friends and teachers. Your school will also invite you to any special events such as class photos and trips.

Behaviour and Relationships

We hope you will quickly start to feel you belong and are safe in Rainbow room. We help you to know you are doing the right thing by: 

• awarding Dojo's 

• Earning tokens for our class economy system.

• Rewarding positive behaviours and good choices

• joining in with your independent choice once you have attempted all the learning activities. 

Soon you will see for yourself all the other positive consequences of doing the right thing!

Sometimes we all make the wrong choice, or struggle with big emotions. We are here to support you and keep everybody safe. We will help you to regulate, reflect and repair, so we can all move forward together.
