Whole School Review Days
Whilst half of the school were involved in a multi-agency review of their progress over the year, the remainder were taking part in activity days. One group spent the morning designing T shirts and Taiko drumming at the Hive in Shrewsbury. Another group worked with JCL Group, Condover on Outdoor and Adventurous Activities. The activities were matched to student's interests and provided a personalised challenge for all taking part, not least due to being the wettest February for years.

Each wolf goes up against a different challenge: One the fearsome ‘Red Riding Hood’ and two of the cunning ‘Three Little Pigs’.

Review and Project Days 24
Mid way through the academic year each student has a review with their teaching staff and support agencies, who contribute to the feedback event for parents and carers. When they were not in their review, students were challenged to try out new activities such as Taiko Drumming and Bushcraft. The Bushcraft session took place at Nesscliffe enabling students to build emergency shelters and light fires, then cook marshmallows. The drumming was a brilliant way to release any excess energy.
