Our Pirates and Sailors’ Stories

We are so proud of our Pirates’ and Sailors’ achievements throughout their time with us. Through our weekly, term-time sessions, focusing on developing and building upon our young learners’ reading, writing, communication, and personal, social and emotional skills, we aim for all of our learners to thrive in Literacy, the wider curriculum and their wider lives. Here are some inspiring case studies from some of our young learners.
