Lots of outdoor learning and Forest School. Lots of school trips which help us to learn in different environments. This will help us when we change schools.
Residentials are fun and help us learn teamwork and independence.

We work together in partners - your partner helps you and you help them.
Our teachers really help us to aspire to do really well not just quite well. They really care.
