Each year group followed a bespoke timetable tailored to their development programme, including:

-
Creative Arts Carousel: Staff from Bridgwater & Taunton College set up an exciting carousel in the Sports Hall for our Year 9 students, sparking creativity and curiosity.
- Introduction to Social Sciences: Year 10 students were introduced to the fascinating world of social sciences by the knowledgeable staff from Bridgwater & Taunton College.
-
Team Building Activities: These activities focused on collaboration, teamwork and confidence, enhancing their interpersonal skills. Students also had to show their resilience to keep trying to overcome some of the more trickier challenges.

Focused Study Time: Year 11 students dedicated time to concentrate on Maths and English, ensuring they are well-prepared for their upcoming exams.
The afternoon was not only useful and productive but also provided a strong sense of belonging among students. It was heartening to see our students so engaged and making the most of the opportunities presented to them.
