Blue Spark Foundation

BlueSpark provided funding for Chalk Hill PRU in Sudbury, Suffolk to take their pupils on a residential activities camping trip on the Island of Mersea. The Head of Care said that “the aim was to improve the students’ social and emotional awareness through team activities and shared duties. All students felt a sense of achievement and were encouraging others and recognising the challenges individuals had overcome. Many children had not been to the seaside before and most of them had not been camping, so this experience was both novel and enjoyable. The students that attended are better behaved and more relaxed in class and so able to concentrate better, so improving their learning.”
