Skills for Life
We can incorporate Skills For Life into our four-night residential activity visits.
If you request an evaluation in advance, then we’ll use a scaling approach to measure and evaluate students’ progress in key areas. On arrival, students complete an individual evaluation form that lists the soft skills they will focus on during their stay.
Whether or not you choose this option, all our residential visits incorporate the Every Child Matters Outcome Framework by encouraging:
- Healthy living through exercise and diet
- Ways of making a positive contribution
