    Pupils within our Early Years and Lower Primary classes had lots of farmyard fun at Piglets Adventure Farm! 🚜

    There was a whole host of playgrounds to choose from, including an indoor play barn with slides and a sandpit!

    The bouncing pillows were a firm favourite alongside the tractor rides! 🚜

    Let’s not forget the amazing animals pupils got to meet – from sheep & Guinea pigs to an alpaca! Some pupils even had the opportunity to meet the animals up close! Everyone was very gentle!

    Our Upper Primary classes were sliding into the fun yesterday at Stockeld Park! 🛝

    Each year we run a massive ‘whole school trip’. As we’ve expanded this year, we’ve had to split our whole school trip into 2 - so 11 Upper Primary classes made their way to Stockeld yesterday.

    Pupils and staff from all our pathways loved joining together to play in their huge soft play playground, outdoor playgrounds, inflatables and even their enchanted forest! 🌳

    There was SO many slides to try, and lots of interactive playgrounds for those not able to access these. From musical playgrounds to storytelling buttons! 🎶

    Up they go! 🧗

    This morning pupils from both our BD7 & BD3 sites visited Big Depot Leeds to give rock climbing a go!

    The pupils who attended enjoy climbing, so heading to the climbing wall helped to develop this talent in a safe way! Pupils were harnessed in for safety, and some of our pupils who are wheelchair users used special slings!

    Our pupils all get different opportunities to try new things through our bespoke enrichment programme - The Delius Experience! ✨

    A huge thanks to all the staff at the Depot who supported this incredible opportunity!
