Trip to

RESIDENTIAL PSHCE #

December 2019 saw 12 students and three members of

staff make the bi-annual trip to Jamie’s Farm, near

Bath, for a week long residential visit. Jamie’s Farm is

a working farm which is home to cows, sheep, horses,

pigs, chickens, ducks, cats, dogs and a donkey. Visits

here incorporate farming and caring for these animals

alongside a 5-day programme of therapy, reflectiveness

and personal growth. Students are without their phones or

other technology for the week, which alongside vigorous

daily walks and three home cooked nutritious meals a

day allows them to thrive away from the distractions of

the city. Our students (and staff!) acquitted themselves

well against the sizeable tasks that were given to them

– cleaning out and feeding the animals before breakfast,

preparing, cooking and serving the meals for over 20

people at each sitting and throwing themselves into the

other tasks that farming life has to offer. We planted new

herbs and salad leaves at the vegetable patches; chopped

logs for the huge boiler; helped herd and tag sheep at

nearby Steve’s farm; assisted with the training of a new

horse to the farm, alongside many other jobs. All of these

activities taught our students courage, determination and

leadership skills. I am very proud of our young people

and looking forward to seeing where the new bonds, skills

and values our week at Jamie’s Farm lead us.
