Through our Beyond Bennerley curriculum we provide meaningful opportunities to learn and transfer the knowledge and skills both in and outside the classroom in real life situations. This will support the building of resilience and raising aspirations for all pupils. They are able to build independence in the community whilst enhancing their experiences beyond the classroom environment.
