It’s been a week of ☀️ and outdoor adventures for our students

Starting off with a 10-mile walk from Dudley to Wolverhampton 🛤️

With a trip to Baggeridge in the sun, and a return visit to Bumble Hole late last week we have made the most of the weather

For our end of term reward trip we took students to The Black Country Living Museum 🏭

Here we explored the exhibitions, the 1960’s street, the factories, houses and much, much more!

Thank you to students, staff, and parents and carers for a great term - see you all back soon

SPARK Weekly Walk #8 -

For this weeks walk we decided to take a trip down the old railway tracks near Wombourne 🛤️

Here we saw some great graffiti, beautiful nature and discovered some local history - with Charles II using the route for his escape in 1651!

This week is mental health awareness week

The theme for this year is movement: moving more for your mental health

Regular physical activity is known to improve mental health, quality of life, and wellbeing.

It also helps prevent and treat heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and breast and colon cancer, and more.

Despite these benefits being well established, over a third of the UK do not meet the recommended amount of activity.

For this week try and get some movement in with football, a run, or walking the dog - it might help more than you realise

SPARK Weekly Walk #7 -

Today we visited the Delph Locks (9 locks) in Brierley Hill

First opened in 1779, its final lock marks the border between the Dudley and Stourbridge canals
