π Inclusion Trip β Building Life Skills
As part of our inclusion programme, students recently took part in a trip designed to help them develop important everyday life skills.
Before the visit, students completed a life experiences survey where they shared areas they had not yet experienced, such as travelling by train, purchasing items independently, or visiting a post office.
During the trip, students travelled by bus to the train station and caught a train to Preston. They also had the opportunity to purchase food and other items independently, visit a post office to post letters, and explore a charity shop where they compared prices.
The trip provided a valuable opportunity for students to build confidence, independence, and gain real-world experience beyond the classroom. π
