We agree that ‘early and sustained additional support for those that need it’ should be a top priority and that a focus on pupil wellbeing will have a positive impact. As well as embedding literacy and numeracy in all our sessions, a big part of the work we do is in promoting pupil wellbeing. Our wide range of therapeutic, outdoor, practical, land-based activities in our peaceful farm and countryside environment help reduce pupil anxiety and give them the time and space to work through the issues they face at school.
