Residentials « Hope Wood Academy

Hope Wood Academy took 17 students to the outdoor centre, The Bendrigg Trust in Cumbria in May 2016.

Hope Wood Academy in 2016 for the first time offered an international residential. The trip is a skiing residential in the beautiful region of Courmayeur, Italy.

These residential opportunities develop independence, life skills, emotional intelligence and resilience.

Our Bronze Duke of Edinburgh expedition students have arrived safely back at school after two glorious days on expedition. Some sore feet and tired heads but a fantastic effort was given by all, teamwork, resilience, fun and friendship. Well done to all students and thanks to all staff who supported the expedition.

Hope Wood is taking part in the Durham Music Service BIG PLAY event.
We will be joining thousands of students from across Durham participating in a music event this week.
Lots of our students will be performing in a special assembly, showcasing their talents from singing to drumming and playing ukuleles!

This ties in with Article 31 from the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child - Every child has the right to have rest and leisure, to engage in play activities and to participate in cultural life and the arts.
