Broad & balanced
curriculum
Enrichment is an important part of life at St Elizabeth's, with
opportunities and activities occurring all year round.
We have a fully accessible playground, tennis court and sports pitches for our young people to enjoy, as
well as indoor sports facilities including soft play and ball pits. We are lucky to be situated in a beautiful
rural setting, perfect for walks, bike rides or just to explore! We have a 3-acre apple orchard, and run a
specialist organic horticultural area with chickens and allotments.
Enrichment at school include magic shows, creative workshops and travelling pantomimes, as well as
seasonal activities ranging from visits with Father Christmas to religious studies trips to local places of
worship, to name a few.
We have a fleet of vehicles including specially adapted people carriers and minibuses, used to
accommodate a variety of outings.
Student Voice
Student Council elections are conducted through a democratic process on a yearly basis, where students
are encouraged to put themselves forward to act as their class representatives. Student Council meetings
provide opportunities for pupils to discuss and vote on various topics, and put forward questions and
suggestions to the School & Children's Home. Every student's voice is at the heart of our provision, and
where possible we act on their feedback through 'You Said, We Did'.
Pupils living with us are supported by staff to shop, cook and clean together, and to plan evening and
weekend activities together, which support their individual independence plans.
We commission Services for Young People to provide impartial advice and career guidance - this is also
available free of charge to families.
