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 outdoor gyms, a sports hall and sports pitches for our young adults to enjoy, as
well as indoor therapy facilities including sensory rooms 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 college include visits to Church Farm, Paradise Wildlife Park, Canalability, Duxford Imperial
War Museum and Rocksteady Music, as well as seasonal activities ranging from visits to Christmas
markets, 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.
Learners also participate in PDBA (Personal Development, Behaviour and Attitudes). This is an
opportunity for learners to become more self-aware in their journey to adulthood. They are encouraged to
become more mature, independent and confident, developing a sense of social justice and moral
responsibility reflecting on how their choices and behaviour may affect others. They learn how to make
better, more informed choices about their health and environment and take responsibility for their own
learning.
Learner Voice
Staff at college also encourage learners to use their voice to shape their own and their peers experience
of life at college. A key part of this process is participating in Learner Council meetings, meeting every
half term. During the meetings, learners are supported to discuss important issues and topics, and cast
votes on outcomes. Topics include College prom themes, Christmas meals, health and safety issues and
their concerns. Learners run democratic campaigns to become Chair each year, appealing for votes from
their peers in order to take up the position.
