We had a fantastic time at our Sensational Learning Centre Sports Day last week! 🏅
The day was full of energy and enthusiasm as the pupils got involved, supporting one another and showing brilliant team spirit throughout.
A big thank you to everyone who took part, cheered from the sidelines, or helped the day run smoothly. And a special thanks to our Facilities Technician, Stuart, who did a great job as goalie for the day! ⚽️

There’s nothing like an ice cream treat to round off the term – and thanks to Clarks Soft Ices, that’s exactly what we had! 🍦
Their visit to campus last week brought a real buzz of excitement. It was a brilliant way to celebrate all the hard work and achievements of all our pupils, young people, and trainees across our services.
A very special thank you goes to Jenna, a parent in our Sensational Learning Centre, whose incredible fundraising efforts meant that the pupils in SLC could enjoy an ice cream, completely free of charge. 😋
Thank you again to Clarks Soft Ices for visiting us – and to Jenna for making it possible. ⭐

Exploring Stories Through Photography 📸
Over the past few weeks, pupils in our Sensational Learning Centre have embarked on a creative journey into history, storytelling, and self-expression through The Big Picture Co-Curation Project.
Through hands-on sessions, they explored powerful archive images, experimented with vintage cameras, reflected on storytelling through photography, and used frames to view our campus in new and meaningful ways. They also began creating personal storybooks and collaborated on a new welcome book for our Sensational Learning Centre. 🥰
Their creativity and insight have been incredible – and we’re so proud of what they’ve achieved.

As we near the end of term here at our Sensational Learning Centre, we took some time last week to hold a special assembly to celebrate everyone’s hard work and achievements over the past year. There were many laughs and even more tears as we bid farewell to two young people moving on to incredible new adventures. 🥰
💬 Angela Evans, Head of Learning Services, said:
"This school year has been truly exceptional. A time of growth, connection and meaningful achievement. Our pupils have thrived through rich learning experiences, supported by dedicated staff who have gone above and beyond to nurture wellbeing, inclusion and curiosity. Together we have embraced change and celebrated progress. As we reflect on the school year, we do so with pride and gratitude and look ahead with renewed energy and optimism for what`s to come."
A big thank you to all the young people and SLC team for their contributions to the assembly and their dedication throughout the year. What an amazing year it has been!
We`d also like to thank their parents and family members for coming along to celebrate with us. 🫶

Pawel, who is supported through our Treehouse service, has been thriving outdoors – and it’s been incredible to watch his confidence grow. 🌱
He has taken real pride in looking after his garden space and has even been helping out our Facilities team by washing our transport vehicles. These small, everyday routines have become great ways for Pawel to build independence, develop new skills, and enjoy the outdoors in a way that works for him. 🚗 🌼
We’re now looking forward to working with Pawel to keep developing his garden – turning it into a space that reflects what he enjoys and how he likes to spend his time.
