Learning Away is an initiative that aims to support the positive impact that high-quality residential learning can have for students and teachers. These residentials are integrated into the school curriculum to support the Learning that takes place within the school and on Residential. We like to think of these residentals as Brilliant Residential following our involvement with the Paul Hamlyn foundation.
The Learning Away programme is Co-ordinated by Mr Bleach in Pupil Support/ PE Department
