This programme provides a structured experience with the single aim of returning the student to the classroom. It provides different 'hands on' activities for students aged 11 - 14 years who are severely disaffected with school, have been excluded from school or are at risk of being excluded from full-time education. In many cases, these students are not achieving and are lacking in confidence. The students attend an intensive 4 day per week programme, spanning one term. Through a range of outdoor activities we aim to build trust, address issues and increase self esteem. As well as having opportunities to acquire internally validated certificates of competence, all students are enrolled on the externally accredited John Muir Award scheme which is used to facilitate a return to classroom based activity. Project costs include one-to-one tuition, food, learning materials and entry into the accredited awards schemes.
