We recently took some students on a residential for three days to Peat Rigg, where they took part in a range of different activities. Some of these activities included: Archery, Abseiling, Ziplining, Caving and orienteering.

Other obscure activities also took place, with the crate escape, Jacob’s ladder and bushcraft, where the students toasted marshmallows and warmed up with their own fires.

These activities were all designed to improve student’s resilience, teamwork, communication and
leadership skills.

Every student succeeded on this trip, as staff we all felt each individual had either faced their fears or grown as a person, doing things they normally wouldn’t. All week us staff members had the privilege of watching how the students represented the school and themselves, to the point that one of the instructors said that some of the activities were the smoothest they had ever run with this group.

Following this they should all be very proud to be a Grange Student!

10 students with SEND attended Bradford’s first Youth Summit, an event that brought together students from different schools across Bradford to share their views on issues affecting young people and their communities, including key themes of inclusion, accessibility and transport. Students were joined by guests and representatives from the council and SEND services.

During the summit, students took part in workshops and group discussions where they explored topics such as emotional wellbeing, mental health, and challenges faced by young people. They worked together to analyse information, discuss possible solutions, and present ideas for improving support for students in schools. 

The summit also gave them the chance to meet other young people, listen to speakers, and ask questions to professionals and decision-makers. As a result, students develop skills such as teamwork, leadership, and public speaking, while also gaining confidence and a stronger understanding that their voices and experiences can help shape positive changes in their schools and communities.
