🎨🖌️ GCSE Art 🎨🖌️

Lily has outlined an original image using words that are most important to her. Each colour and carefully chosen word reflects interests, feelings, and experiences that help her make sense of the world around her.This creative process is deeply regulating providing a calm, expressive way to organise thoughts, process emotions, and feel grounded and secure in her learning.What a gorgeous piece of work and a beautiful example of how art supports self‑expression, emotional regulation, and confidence ✨💛#newbridge #springboardproject ...

What a fantastic day out our students had on our recent trip to Zip World Manchester, followed by a relaxing walk around Heaton Park! It was a wonderful mix of excitement, teamwork, fresh air and some unforgettable animal encounters.

Reaching New Heights at Zip WorldThe day began with a real sense of adventure as we arrived at Zip World Manchester to take on the Tree Top Nets. As soon as the students spotted the giant nets stretching high up between the trees, the excitement was contagious!Climbing, bouncing and carefully making their way across the nets, the students showed brilliant courage and determination. Some started off a little nervous, but with encouragement from friends and staff, confidence grew quickly and smiles spread everywhere. It was fantastic to see teamwork in action, with students cheering each other on!The Tree Top Nets were not only great fun but also a brilliant way to build confidence, resilience and trust, all while having an absolute blast!A Gentle Stroll Through Heaton ParkAfter all that energetic activity, it was time to slow the pace slightly and enjoy a peaceful walk around Heaton Park. The fresh air, open green spaces and beautiful surroundings made it the perfect way to wind down after the morning’s adventure - even in the rain!This trip was a perfect balance of adventure, learning and enjoyment. The students represented themselves brilliantly throughout the day, showing excellent behaviour, kindness and enthusiasm at every stage.A huge thank you to all the staff who helped make the trip possible and supported the students throughout the day. Most of all, well done to the students for embracing every part of the experience with such positivity and excitement.We came back tired but happy, full of stories, smiles and memories. #Newbridge #Springboardproject ...

✨ Last week, we made the most of the nice weather by taking our students on a wellbeing walk around Hollingworth Lake and it turned out to be just what everyone needed. ✨

From the moment we arrived in Littleborough, the atmosphere shifted. The calm water, open space, and fresh spring air created the perfect setting to slow things down after a busy few days at holiday club. With no pressure and no rush, students were free to simply enjoy being outdoors.The walk around the lake was relaxed and full of little moments. 🌼 🌳Some students walked side by side, chatting about their plans for the long weekend, while others ran ahead, full of energy and excitement. There were plenty of laughs, a few snack breaks, and lots of pointing out ducks and boats.⭐️ What made the day really stand out was how naturally the wellbeing aspect came through. Without any formal structure, students began to unwind talking more openly, smiling more, and just enjoying the simplicity of being outside with friends. For some, it was a chance to burn off energy; for others, it was a peaceful break from noise and screens. ⭐️⭐️ The combination of fresh air, movement, and good company had worked its magic. It felt like the perfect way to round off the week and ease into the bank holiday weekend.⭐️🌼 Holiday club is always about creating positive experiences, but days like this remind us that sometimes the simplest activities are the most powerful. A walk around a lake, a bit of sunshine, and time to just be, what more could you ask for? ☀️#newbridge #springboardproject ... See MoreSee Less

Today at the Springboard Project Holiday Club was full of creativity, colour, and some seriously tasty cooking! 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

As part of developing their independent living skills, the students also researched their recipes, created shopping lists, and took a trip to the shops to buy all the ingredients themselves—an amazing effort from start to finish!Our students got hands-on in the kitchen and whipped up a delicious menu. They made a warming tomato and mixed vegetable soup—perfectly comforting and packed with flavour. Alongside that, they baked some golden cheese and onion pastries, plus irresistible cheese swirls that smelled amazing straight from the oven.For something a little sweet and refreshing, they also created smoothie bowls using blended frozen fruit and yoghurt, topped with crunchy granola and a drizzle of honey. 🍓🍯The chefs really showed off their skills today, working brilliantly together and producing some fantastic dishes. We’re so proud of their effort, teamwork, and growing confidence in the kitchen!What a tasty and fun-filled day! 🎉#Newbridge #Springboardproject ... See MoreSee Less

Today we had a fantastic trip to Portland Basin Museum, finishing the day with lunch at Frankie & Benny’s 🍽️

We are so proud of our students in SPT1. Throughout the day they showed brilliant behaviour — from thanking bus drivers, making space for others, and representing the school so positively.There was lots of learning too! Students engaged really well with the museum, exploring local history and asking thoughtful questions. Even at lunch, they were using their maths skills to work out bills and totals 👏A special mention for keeping spirits high… even when Avi (our TA!) took us to the wrong tram stop 😄A great day all round — well done everyone!#Newbridge #Springboardproject ...
