📢 Home Ed Social Update 📢

Just a reminder that our usual Friday Social will not be running on Friday 26th June.
However, we do have our Nature Day on Thursday 25th June 🌿🍃

Nature Day is a great opportunity to combine outdoor learning with evidence towards an AQA Unit Award Certificate, making it both a fun and educational day out.

We'd love to see you there for a day of exploration, discovery, and hands-on learning in nature!
If you have any questions about Nature Day or the AQA certificate opportunities, please get in touch.

Summer is just around the corner, but we're still here! ☀️
With groups of fewer than 10 learners, there's plenty of individual support and opportunities to work towards recognised qualifications.
From trying new activities to developing new skills, there are lots of options available throughout the summer. Come along, make friends, learn something new, and discover what interests you.

Last Friday, we challenged ourselves with a range of exciting outdoor activities. We tested our courage and balance on the Leap of Faith before abseiling safely back to the ground.

After lunch, we continued with more roped activities, including our favourite, ATPF. To finish the day, we cooled off with a refreshing jump into the river — a fantastic end to an adventurous and rewarding experience.

Our Holiday and Food Programme is now live.

Another fantastic week with our home education group as they continue their NICAS and AQA Unit Award in climbing 🧗‍♂️

This session wasn’t just about climbing up – it was all about using their skills and knowledge to boulder across the wall. Travelling sideways challenged them to think carefully about movement, balance, and route choice.

It was great to see them problem-solving, staying focused, and applying what they’ve learned in a new way. Lots of determination and some brilliant teamwork too!

Well done everyone – you’re making great progress each week 👏
