Adventures

The independence and confidence gained from travelling and stepping out of our comfort zone cannot be overstated, and indeed was the starting point for LEAP – could we develop a programme that expanded our students’ horizons and developed their leadership qualities?

Our LEAP cohort are able to apply for awards of up to £2,500 to undertake an adventure over the summer. Students are asked to consider how their adventure might develop their independence, build their confidence or help with their future career. 

See the blogs and photos for examples of previous adventures below.
