At Brentwood College we work with a wide range of partners to enhance the curriculum and provide opportunities to learn in the community. Students experience work, leisure, community and sporting activities that they may wish to continue when they leave Brentwood College. 

Princes Park Garden Centre
 

Students attend the garden centre weekly helping with a project to grow moss to aid in regenerating local mosslands. The students work alongside the staff and other volunteers to complete their work. This includes for example filling potting trays with soil and pruning plants.

 

Access Sport

Students attend weekly sessions with access sport providing a diverse range of activities tailored to the students abilities helping develop their health and wellbeing.

Life Centre

Every Monday our students take part in a work experience at the Life Centre. The work experience allows students to participate in manual jobs, vital to the day to day running of the centre. These include stacking chairs, hoovering, the floors, cleaning tables, preparing and setting up rooms for different occasions. The students very much enjoy the community spirit at the life centre and feel a great sense of achievement at completing their jobs. The students were delighted to be rewarded at the end of term with a treasure hunt and games afternoon which they thoroughly enjoyed. We are looking forward to continuing this work experience, building life skills and our community connections.
