Post 16 Residential Communication

10th March 2022Mrs R Fletcher

Good morning,

I have spoken last night with the staff who are on the residential, they have asked me to let you know that they are having some trouble with phone signal where they are, which has hampered some communications.

Louise F has asked me to put the following message on here about yesterday’s activities.

‘Everyone is doing fine.  Activities Wednesday were bushcraft, cycling, climbing wall and king swing, swimming and rambling.

After an evening meal we had birthday celebrations for Jamie, followed by cake.

We had a chilled evening in the games room.

I will send further information for the blog tomorrow and for the final days.

Many thanks

Post 16 Team’

Post 16 Residential

6th March 2022Mrs C Maley

Could we please ask that where possible pupils who will be going on residential this week take a LFD test prior to coming into school.  This is not mandatory however as we know LFD tests are helpful in identifying those who do not have any symptoms but may potentially have Covid-19.  Thank you for your support.

Art and Literacy Fun!

26th March 2021Christopher Clark

Happy Arts and Literature Week!

Wow! What a term this has been for us all. It has been wonderful to have everyone back in school, and to finish the term on Arts and Literature week has felt extra special.

In literacy we have been reading Fantastic Mr. Fox, our inspiration for this year’s display board. To make the display we drew around our arms and hands then used natural things from the garden to paint different patterns and textures. Next we made leaves by drawing around stencils onto tissue paper before putting it all together to make the tree. Under the tree is a burrow where you can find the students having a “Fantastic Feast”. All the food for the feast was made by our students. We had chicken, scones, cakes, carrot and cucumber and amazing sausage rolls! We loved acting out “The Feast” from the story and of course enjoyed eating the food even more!

For the final day of term we all dressed as different characters, completed our display and then watched the film “Fantastic Mr. Fox”!

Happy Easter to all and we look forward to seeing everyone in the Summer Term!

Love from

Chris, Louise, Jade, Jenny, Andrea and Vicky

Ouseburn Farm

10th July 2017O Emmerson

Last week students from post 16 took part in a work experience challenge on Ouseburn Farm. This involved learning about the different animals on the farm, taking part in cleaning out the animals cages, making a scrapbook and also watching a video teaching them about what animals get used for on the farm.

The students found it was a fun way to learn and had a great week.
