Knowledge is power…all humans have 8 senses, we have to know about them to know how to use them to our advantage.

Sophie’s Superpower Senses is an engaging fictional story aimed at children aged 3-7 years old. It is also intended to be educational and to normalise knowledge and conversation about the 8 senses (and not only the 5 that are taught within the mainstream curriculum). Sophie and her brother Tom will take your child with them on the adventures of their day, playfully explaining the internal senses (relating to body movement [proprioception], balance & motion [vestibular] and recognition of bodily functions and feelings [interoception]). Jenny Quinn is a Clinical Lead Occupational Therapist with an MSc in Sensory Integration. Katherine Hobbs is a freelance illustrator and has worked in the education sector for the past 15 years. Both Jen and Kat are passionate about all children having the right knowledge and tools to support their development, self-regulation, and wellbeing. The 8 senses are currently only commonly known by parents/carers of individuals with additional needs. This needs to change, the 8 senses need to be familiar to all. This book is intended to provide the first building block of information to promote conversation.

Are you looking for an education that will excite your child and encourage them to explore what they are interested in? SML College provides an alternative to mainstream schooling whereby students take responsibility for their learning in an environment that is supportive, safe and provides freedom to explore the areas that inspire them. There’s a lot we know about how children and young people learn, for instance they are all different. Yet school assumes that children and young people will learn the same things, in the same way, at the same time, through a fixed curriculum. 
The essence of the Self Managed Learning approach is to provide a structure within which young people can plan, organise and carry out learning activities. SML College treats each young person as an individual, there are no classrooms or an imposed curriculum. Each student is able to work out for themselves what and how they want to learn.

SENse Learning is an alternative provision that provides face-to-face holistic tuition to children and young people with additional needs, whether they’re out of school or in between placements. Sessions are delivered in the young person’s own home and they also utilise trips out into the community. SENse Learning prioritise building relationships, fostering interest led learning, and nurturing social, emotional and academic development, with the child at the centre.
