Residential opportunities for learning

The school supports pupils very well to prepare for adult life. For example, through trips which encourage and foster skills including independence, resilience and organisational skills. A recent residential trip gave Year 11 pupils the opportunity to engage in a wide range of exciting activities such as axe throwing, mountain biking and canoeing. These team building challenges support pupils to develop as healthy, confident individuals, develop valuable life skills and prepare well for independence outside school.School leaders ensured that funding was in place to provide all pupils the opportunity to take part in this residential placement. The school takes great care to produce a detailed plan for each pupil that successfully balances the possible risks linked to their needs whilst not inhibiting their full participation in a wide range of learning experiences.
