🐴 Equine Assisted Learning at Shrewsbury Academy 🌟
This term, some of our students at Shrewsbury Academy had the incredible opportunity to take part in Equine Assisted Learning sessions.
These unique sessions help to build confidence, improve communication and assertiveness, and encourage students to work together as a team, promoting trust and collaboration with their peers.
A big thank you to everyone involved in making this experience possible – it’s been a powerful way for our students to grow both personally and socially.
Don't forget Alliance of Leading Learning is hosting an ITT clinic at our school from 3-6pm tomorrow, so if you are or know anyone interested in training to teach, pop in and find out more! ... See MoreSee Less
Our amazing trip to A Coruña has come to an end but not before one final day packed with unforgettable experiences!
We kicked off with an action-packed visit to Aventura Dakart Park, where students took on:
🌳 Tree climbing 🏌️ Mini golf 🏹 Archery 💦 Water slides 🍴 Followed by a delicious lunch right on the stunning beach!
In the afternoon, we explored the breath-taking Santiago de Compostela Cathedral, an iconic symbol of pilgrimage known across the world. We even visited the crypt of Santiago the Apostle, a truly special and reflective moment for many.
And to finish? A final group dinner with pizza ordered entirely in Spanish - our students put their language learning to the test and did brilliantly!
