“The class has made tremendous progress, growing in confidence as they learn to build trusting relationships with a wider range of adults who support them. They have also developed greater resilience when facing new experiences, including traveling on a school bus for the first time, attending school trips, and visiting unfamiliar places. A particularly impressive achievement has been that every pupil successfully mounted and ridden a horse. This activity provides a wonderful start to the week, helping pupils regulate their emotions and settle back into school after the weekend.”
Ian Mills, Assistant Headteacher, Parkside
