We have a Practical Learning Centre with a Barber Shop, a Mechanic, and a Carpenter. We run daily sessions for students to gain a recognised NCFE qualification in vocational and technical learning. Ben our Carpenter will support students with using hand held tools, joinery and exposure to bricklaying/painting and plumbing. These sessions are also designed to spark an interest in future employment options. The Centre encourages students to learn practical skills while encompassing and promoting English and Math's.
We strongly promote outdoor learning activities because it can alleviate stress, anxiety and it enables young people to become physically active which in turn promotes mental well-being. In an outdoor environment young people tend to be: more attentive, focused and It increases retention levels.
We feel Outdoor Learning will help young people build practical and social skills. Edu-Action provides basic construction projects and Students can gain a recognised ASDAN qualification in a range of courses, including Building and Horticulture.
