    Academy student

  • "Our youngsters now have a more positive and creative attitude when approaching the more demanding aspects of the curriculum that are lifestyle based, such as work experience, work related learning and vocational education. They have adopted a greater willingness to take on new challenges in other fields of school life including school council, student mentoring opportunities and Duke of Edinburgh."

    Leader at specialist school for learning diffculties

  • "My daughter made new friends onboard and was full of enthusiasm when she came home. Whenever she gets the opportunity to do something on the water it has a really positive impact on her and makes such a difference! It was also lovely for me to have her want to go away and enjoy herself."
