Bryntysilio Personal and Social Development Rubric

How it works

In collaboration with you, we develop a programme that fits with your school community, local environment and curriculum

We’ll research, develop resources, and create an outdoor classroom as necessary ready for lessons

We’ll come on the same day each week to run a day-long lesson or two half-day lessons for two different classes

Repeat for a half term or term to build on each session, develop rapport with the class to gain deeper learning

Dates

Spring Term of 22-23 academic year
