SEND

Built for every pupil, including pupils with SEND

Creative Steps follows the Education Endowment Foundation’s “five-a-day” approaches for pupils with SEND - explicit instruction, scaffolding, flexible grouping, cognitive strategies and technology. Those same approaches make every lesson clearer for the whole class, so inclusive teaching is already built into the plan you have open. You don’t need to write a separate one.

Bringing Creative Steps to your whole team

Want help embedding dance across all staff or a whole multi-academy trust? We can provide additional training to build confidence and leave every teacher ready to lead.

  • CPD sessions

    Hands-on training days that build staff confidence, whether they've danced before or not.

  • Twilight training

    Short after-school sessions that fit around your INSET schedule - ready to use the next day.

  • Virtual training

    Live online sessions for schools and multi academy trusts, bringing the whole team together.

Made for the hall, not the desk

  • Lessons you can teach from

    Numbered steps, big type, readable at arm's length while the class waits.

  • Music written for the lessons

    Specially composed tracks, matched to each unit, with a loop for repeated practice.

  • Playback that never stops

    Start a track, keep browsing. The player stays put while you move through the lesson.

  • Reception to Year 6

    Seven schemes across EYFS, KS1 and KS2, one for every year from Reception to Year 6.
