💬 “It will give them the tools to understand and build on what they’ve learned today, and then ultimately apply that to their learning in school, and outside of school.”

We recently spoke with teaching staff at Enfield Community College about their experience with our Xcessible Schools pilot programme and the positive impact it has on students.

The programme combines an interactive in-person workshop with our online course, Disability Inclusion in Physical Activity and Sport, helping students develop a greater understanding of disability inclusion and how it can be applied in everyday life.

We are now planning the second pilot phase and would love to hear from schools across Leinster that are interested in taking part.

Earlier this year, we visited Enfield Community College to pilot our Xcessible Schools Programme 📝

Designed to raise awareness of disability inclusion in activities and everyday school life, the programme saw students take part in a practical workshop focused on positive language and inclusive thinking, followed by an online eLearning course. This gave students the opportunity to further expand their knowledge and understanding of inclusion, and empowering them to bring that learning beyond the classroom and into their daily lives.

A huge thank you to the students and staff at Enfield Community School for their fantastic engagement and commitment to driving inclusion within their school community.
