Students have been embracing a cool new challenge this half term, opting for ice‑skating as part of their Personal Development programme.

Each week, pupils have stepped onto the rink with growing confidence, demonstrating resilience, enthusiasm, and a strong growth mindset. Staff have praised the students for their determination as they learned to stay upright, improve their balance and skate with increasing independence.

The sessions have not only helped students develop physical skills but have also encouraged teamwork, perseverance and self‑belief.

Congratulations to all participating students, you are truly ‘gliding with pride’ this term!
