Year 8 students enjoyed an exciting day at Rutland Water as part of their PE curriculum, taking part in a range of outdoor adventure activities, including orienteering, kayaking, paddleboarding, and raft building.![]()

“In March, I was chosen to represent the Rutland Disabled Youth Forum in a group from other schools.![]()
Two local MPs met us and showed us around the Houses of Parliament.![]()
The purpose of the visit was to hear from students with SEN about their experiences within the current SEN system in school.![]()
They asked about our ideas for improvement.![]()
I told them there should be people in schools who are trained to recognise when students have undiagnosed SEN needs.![]()
These people would specialise in spotting signs to help parents understand their child’s needs so that the proper support can be put in place.”
