Behaviour Management
As part of our recently completed Near to School research project with the University of Portsmouth, our behavior management approach will form part of forthcoming published research on the impact of Social Pedagogy on outcomes for children at risk of permanent exclusion.
Outdoor Education
We are currently involved in a large-scale data collection and analysis project in partnership with Huis Technologies. The project uses a bespoke data system to track outcomes for children and young people against the inclusion of Outdoor Education in our school curriculum.

The project seeks to show how Outdoor Education impacts:

  • Behaviour
  • Attendance
  • Social-emotional progress
  • Self-awareness
  • Outcomes post-16 (including NEET figures)

So far the project has collected over nine million data points and we are very excited to begin analysing the results.
