The children took part in a series on physical challenges to test their speed and agility. All participants did a fantastic job, were great sportsmen & women and pushed themselves to achieve their personal bests. Not to mention all the fun we had.

All staff have a duty and a responsibility to promote appropriate behaviour at all times. We believe that well motivated, secure, confident pupils encouraged by praise and reward will generally demonstrate acceptable behaviour. We also believe that staff, pupils and parents can work together in the best interests of the child to establish and maintain good behaviour and self-discipline where appropriate.

They help our pupils to develop their communications, initiative, resourcefulness and independence. At Gibside, educational visits are an essential part of the curriculum. They provide meaningful relevant experiences which enable pupils to develop a better understanding of abstract concepts in several subjects e.g. history, geography, science, R.E. All educational visits are planned as part of the curriculum and, as such, should be included in teachers' medium and/or short term planning.

Unfortunately this is not the case and we cannot just hope the problem will go away. Recent research has shown that children and young people with learning difficulties are more vulnerable to abuse of all types than mainstream pupils because of their difficult behaviour, poor communication skills and inability to make choices of their own. It is vital all staff are aware of and act upon these procedures if they have any concerns.
