Bodster C.I.C. -Equine Assisted Learning

At Bodster Equine Assisted Learning C.I.C. we offer sessions for anyone aged 6yrs to 90 yrs old, where people develop self-confidence and explore communication through interaction on the ground with our ponies. There is no riding involved! We facilitate sessions where our ponies help learners understand how ponies communicate to each other and alongside this learners also develop key skills such as English and Maths as well developing soft skills such as problem solving, team work, self-awareness and self-esteem. Our courses allow learners to develop in a calm unique learning setting. We use Natural Horsemanship and look at how horses learn using a step by step approach. Learners develop skills such as grooming and leading and working loose with a pony and learners will be given feedback afterwards and plans for future goals/targets for themselves. Horses do not judge and live in the moment. They know how they need to be to suit each learner’s needs.For more information about Bodster Equine Assisted Learning C.I.C.

Another Way Round helps with Dyslexia

Another Way Round plans to change the future for people experiencing Dyslexia offering a range of services to support parents and schools in better understanding; whether a child may be experiencing specific difficulties with learning, and how best to support them in moving forward.

Dyslexia is a widely acknowledged learning difficulty, so how is it that so many children, young people and adults manage to get the whole way through education without anyone identifying it?

The easy answer is because there are many misconceptions surrounding Dyslexia, what it actually means and how it manifests or rather conceals itself on a daily basis. People with Dyslexia are intelligent and develop a range of strategies’ and coping mechanisms without even realising it. Ironically Dyslexia is not necessarily what stops someone achieving their potential, the biggest barrier becomes knocked confidence as a result of the daily loses a person with Dyslexia experiences.

The Bay CE Primary School retains its ‘good’ status.

Following an Ofsted Inspection on 20 February 2018, The Bay CE Primary School is delighted
to report that the inspector has judged the school to have maintained its ‘good’ rating.
Executive Headteacher of The Bay, Duncan Mills said: “We are delighted to have performed so
well. Maintaining our ‘good’ status is often regarded as harder than achieving it in the first place.

This is a real testament to all the pupils, parents, governors and of course our brilliant staff that
have worked so hard together.”The letter praised the leadership team and its commitment to the school’s overall vision, saying that it ‘led the school with determination that all pupils will receive the best standard of education possible.’ Further, the school’s vision ‘believe, inspire, excel’ is ‘shared by the whole school community.’

The inspector was also extremely impressed with the quality of relationships between students and staff, and how well supported students feel. Parents were also asked to comment, during the Ofsted inspection, on the school and levels of teaching, one parent commented

“They [staff] work tirelessly to support the children and their wider families, so all can succeed. ‘Another said ‘All the staff go above and beyond for the children. Nothing is too much trouble.’

Chair of the Governing Board Rev Ian Lovell added: “We’re thrilled. With the forthcoming expansion of the school, this is a timely endorsement of the staff and particularly our leadership team. The Inspector graded our school as ‘good’ and praised our caring ethos and commitment.
This is a school to be proud of and we are very excited about the future.” The Bay CE Primary School is part of the Cornerstone Federation and this was identified as a positive factor ‘which has boosted the pace of school improvement by effectively sharing expertise.’ In September the school will become an all-through school to include pupils up to age 16 years.
