Our Wider Achievement initiatives range from outdoor learning, comprising of wellbeing walks and exploring the local community, to cycling and biking, which includes bike maintenance and exploring new trails, to cooking, enabling key cookery skills, techniques and processes for cooking at home and football, allowing our young people to experience an positive environment out with school, building key skills and keeping fit whilst doing so.

We offer our young people a range of wider achievement options, all of which are tailored to their needs and personalisation and choice is very important to us here within the Inclusion Spaces. 

We are fortunate enough to work with great partners in the Bridge Centre Motorcycle Project (BCMP Got Mud) who run blocked motorcycle sessions for our young people. These sessions provide our young people with the opportunity to express themselves in an environment which nurtures key life skills, as well as developing practical motorcycle skills. These include, but are not limited to:

Team-building

Independence

Critical thinking

Awareness

Respect

Listening

Our young people really enjoy these sessions and some are invited back by BCMP to continue to develop the key skills picked up during the block.

In our wider achievement cooking classes we have been working on a variety of key skills that our young people can use both in school, and at home, when cooking. These include, but are not limited to:

Identifying cooking equipment and their use

Identifying key cookery skills, techniques and processes

Hygiene and safety

Nutritional adaptations for recipes

Each week, we base our recipes on a mix of sweet and savoury dishes, chosen by our young people.

These cooking lessons have provided our young people with a caring, inclusive and nurturing environment where they have been able to develop their skills.
