Enrichment & Special Projects
We provide a range of enrichment opportunities for young people. Many of these are run in conjunction with three other virtual schools and the John Lyons Charity who provide funding and support. On this page you can see some examples of some of the sort of opportunities we offer.
​
Our Educational Psychologists are also trialing offering drop in sessions for those who work with our children in care - see Number 5 for details.

Every year, a number of our young people attend this successful equine therapy programme. It supports young people who may be experiencing poor mental health, have behavioural issues, and/or learning difficulties. Young people who struggle in traditional therapy and classroom settings, thrive in the inclusive outdoor setting of the stables. The horses respond to the emotions of young people and a team of Clinical Psychologists, Psychotherapists and Horse behaviour experts help to translate the horse's behaviour into observations which are meaningful for young people. The team encourage young people to learn about their own emotions and behaviour to make positive changes which improve their life chances.
