🌸Week 6 Round Up - Spring Term!🌸

Wow, what a week! We've had an incredible week of engagement from our young people.

Tutoring sessions have covered English, Maths and PSHE, with some young people sitting their Functional Skills examinations!

Mentoring sessions have seen us painting pottery, bowling, playing our favourite Uno, baking and many more activities! All working towards young people's outcomes, such as building confidence, learning a new skill, and exploring communities.

We hope everyone has a restful break for Half Term next week, and we're looking forward to being back with you from Tuesday, 24th February!
