Enrichment

In addition to our curriculum, our pupils have access to a variety of different activities which aim to develop interests, social and team working skills or provide therapeutic experiences.

 

Friday activities

On a Friday afternoon our students choose and take part in a variety of different activities.

 

Music

We have a number of specialist music teachers that come into school to provide pupils with a number of different music lessons including guitar, keyboard, drums, violin and rock band. Pupils receive a report on their progress at the end of the year.  There are also opportunities for pupils to show off their talents during school events such as summer talent shows and Christmas assemblies.

 

Outdoor Visits

We often take advantage of local our local nature reserve at Chasewater for educational visits.

 

Gardening

Thanks to the M6 Toll Foundation we were able to purchase a polytunnel where each class has a spot they can grow vegetables for use in cooking lessons.

 

Animals Therapy

We are regularly visited by various animals including dogs and rabbits from Furry Friends pet therapy.

 

 Equine Therapy

Our classes have the opportunity to visit a riding school to learn how to take care and groom the horses and ride.
