How we enrich the curriculum

We know that learning doesn’t just happen in the classroom. That’s why we offer a wide range of enrichment activities designed to help young people build confidence, explore new interests and discover what makes them feel good—mentally, physically and emotionally.

We provide opportunities for our young people to try new things in a way that suits their learning style. If gentle encouragement is what it takes, then we take small steps. We believe that developing skills and connecting with their community should feel meaningful and fun.

Activities beyond the classroom

Here are just some of the extra activities our young people can get involved in:

  • Independent Travel Training: Accessing and navigating the local community safely, whether on foot, bus, train or car
  • Work experience: Our amazing onsite café and various local providers work with us as well
  • Preparation for Adulthood: Hands-on activities to develop independent living skills and accessing local services
  • Confidence: Developing resilience and understanding of dangers through Personal, Social and Health Education, including Relationship Education and the Juicy Project
  • Sustainability: Working in our local community to develop eco-awareness and understanding of environmental issues

Shining in our community

Connecting with our community is key to helping young people grow in confidence and purpose. That’s why we actively build strong links with local businesses, charities and organisations. We create real-world opportunities that help students gain experience, give back, and feel proud of their contribution.

Here’s how we connect:

  • Work experience placements with supportive local businesses
  • Community gardeners project at Wrexham Maelor Hospital
  • Engagement with Wrexham wellbeing hub
  • Utilising the local Info Shop

These community links don’t just build practical skills—they help young people feel involved in the world around them.
