Rich Real-World and Physical Experiences that Build Independence, Confidence and Resilience
A particular strength is the provision for learning outside the classroom and providing pupils with real-life experiences that support the development of key life skills. Pupils are provided with a wide range of physical activities both onsite and offsite including, therapeutic use of the trampoline, cycling, walking, football, boccia and canoeing and as a result pupils’ physical skills develop appropriately. Older pupils demonstrate very effective physical skills, as well as showing resilience and courage during for example Duke of Edinburgh activities at bronze, silver and gold levels. Further pupils build on these physical skills through a range of highly valuable enhanced curriculum experiences. For example, through skiing trips locally and abroad. In a very few cases pupils showcase these skills by representing Wales in the special Olympics.
