Paces Sheffield is a specialist centre and charity for children and adults with neurological conditions (mainly cerebral palsy). Paces delivers Conductive Education: a holistic package of support that aims to help individuals obtain the greatest level of independence through a range of supportive measures.
Paces meets the physical and cognitive needs of individuals which are often not met holistically elsewhere.
Paces Sheffield was established in 1995; the organisation was born out of the experiences of parenting pupils with physical disabilities and their related learning difficulties.
Parents, employees, governors and trustees have overseen the growth of Paces as a charity.
Paces School gained Non-Maintained Special School status in 2009 and were rated “Good” by Ofsted in 2019. The school currently has 51 children from ages 3-18, and provides a personalised curriculum based on the National Curriculum through the framework of Conductive Education.
Paces Adult Service operates a provision for adults with a range of conditions, mainly cerebral palsy. In order to help our adults live as independently as possible throughout their lives, our service teaches and promotes life skills alongside conductive education and offers a variety of fun and interesting activities to make sure our adults enjoy a fulfilled day.
