📚 Teaching & Learning Tuesday
Learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door. Our residential offer gives pupils meaningful opportunities to apply their skills in real‑life settings; building confidence, independence and resilience through shared experiences beyond school.
Today, Ashton House are on Day 1 of their residential at Lea Green and what a fantastic start it has been. Pupils have embraced challenges canoeing on Comford Canal and exploring the Derbyshire caves, showing courage, teamwork and determination as they stepped outside their comfort zones.
These moments matter. They support pupils to face fears, develop self‑belief and recognise what they are capable of achieving.
We’re ending the day with some fun in soft play before dinner, followed by a night walk – the perfect close to a brilliant first day 😊
We are incredibly proud of our pupils and staff for making learning count where it matters most. … See MoreSee Less
