Life Skills

Our aim is develop key life skills, essential for living in the wider world. The children will develop skills and knowledge and become resilient when faced with a challenge! Practical life skills are an essential part of learning to be independent, feeling confident in the community and helping to develop self-esteem. Skills are taught within the safety of the school environment, and through school trips
