The Extended Education Department

At the age of 14 pupils will move into our Extended Education Department. Pupils continue to follow our “Skills for Life” curriculum but with increasing amounts of time applying skills into real life situations. The pupils cook lunch for themselves and their friends each day after practicing their planning, shopping and money skills.

Pupils in our Extended Education department will be invited to participate in a residential visit for a week. This is a highly valuable experience, which allows us to assess pupils’ abilities and skills in real life settings over the extended day. In recent years we have visited Centre Parcs, PGL Activity Centers, France, Holland and Japan.
