Residential News​

Summer 2025 

  • The summer term in residential has been brilliant!

  • We have enjoyed swimming and made good use of our outdoor facilities.

  • We made plans for our Year 9 pupils to join the Army Cadets and they will continue to be part of the cadets in September. 

  • Also, we have welcomed some of our September new starters who have stayed with us for 2 nights so they could begin to take the leap to live with us away from home. We enjoyed getting to know them and loved watching them form new friendships. 

  • We want to congratulate Jodi on the completion of her NVQ and would like to thank Amy our volunteer for coming in on a Monday to help with our summer activities. 

  • We have been excited to watch the building of the new glamping pods at the back of our field and we have been preparing with some camp craft activities with Mr Swanston. 

  • Residential has been full of fun and laughter this year, with many celebrations for birthdays and religious festivals. We are looking forward to the start of another brilliant year in September and we hope to make our residential building even better! 

Spring 2025

  • Spring term promises longer evenings and more opportunity to enjoy all of our outdoor space and equipment once again. 

  • Some of our residential pupils have been involved in the Great Debate and represented our school in the competition that was held here at St Vincent’s. We can’t wait for the next round in the summer term!

  • We have also been involved in the Young Green Britain Challenge and were lucky enough to go on a trip to Cornwall to visit the Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan. This was an amazing educational trip, and our young people thoroughly enjoyed the experience, coming away with lots of exciting ideas for the summer term.  

  • We have welcomed 2 new residential pupils to group this term, and we have been making them feel at home as they settle into St Vincent’s School.

  • We have been supporting one of our residential pupils during Ramadan this half-term – helping him out and breaking fast together of an evening. 

  • Chess Club has been a welcome addition to our Monday evenings, and some of our young people are really enjoying learning how to play. 

Autumn  2024

All residential students have returned for the new academic year in great spirits and are excited for the year ahead.

 

  • Christmas Performance – our pupils have really enjoyed rehearsing their lines in preparation for the school performance.
