Five Acre Wood School

You will have plenty of opportunities to take part in a variety of activities that are based around helping out in the community.

We have a wide range of sports on offer. This has included weekly swimming and boxing training, as well as rounders, basketball, football, dance and P.E. Team skills are developed with boccia, table cricket and bowling. We have also sent students to compete in County and Inter School sport events. Sports are tailored so all students are able to join in and enjoy them at their own level.

We have been exploring a range of mediums and techniques and have been looking at the work of some famous artists. We have experimented with colour mixing, tones and shades and a variety of mediums including sponge painting, chalk and charcoal, watercolour resist, foil embossing, collage, drawing and painting. We have learnt about famous artists from Romero Britto to Andy Warhol and many more, looking at their styles and trying it ourselves.
