Enrichment

Our students get the opportunity to go on enrichment trips such as Yorkshire Wildlife Park and Scarborough Beach to celebrate all their hard work over the year.

Fun Ways to Learn

Our students are always experiencing new ways to learn so that they can apply this to their own practice. Each year we take our students to local Forest Schools where they learn the importance of learning outdoors, team building and problem solving.
