Martial Arts/ Forest Skills and Catering
Available for secondary students of any age.
What's involved?
Learners can have breakfast on arrival if desired, with games to help settle in for the day. Students in our Tuesday group will go outside to engage in a forest skills session, whilst those in our Thursday group will take a 1-hour martial arts session at a local centre. Both sessions build on life skills in different ways and are delivered by specialist external agencies.
After a short break, work moves to the kitchen where students begin the recipe of the day. A range of recipes are carefully planned to build towards a portfolio to secure a Level 1 Award/ Certificate in Skills for Working in Catering and Hospitality Industries. Whatever has been cooked is eaten as a group for lunch. In the afternoon, students complete worksheets and engage in a session building social skills through games, including pool, table tennis or activities in the large garden.
Places are allocated on a half termly basis. However, to gain the full certificate, students need to attend for at least two terms.
