Oakwood Academy

This course offers exciting and rewarding activities to develop skills and knowledge through gardening. This course helps learners develop practical gardening skills, as well as personal, social and work-related skills. We work closely with Incredible Education, attending Cleavley Community Forest Garden on a weekly basis.

The Sixth Form students take it in turns to access the Empower You sessions, whereby they participate in various physical activities. Examples of previous sessions include boxing, basketball, cycling, yoga, skateboarding, and the gym. The programme runs for 8 weeks and aims to improve the physical health of the students whilst having fun!

The Sixth Form students have access to sessions which are delivered by the Department for Work and Pensions. This is a great opportunity for the students to develop their knowledge within the world of work, as well as providing them with the opportunity to discuss their future ambitions and how to develop the necessary skills, qualities and experience needed to succeed. They are also able to discuss ideas, ask questions and develop their CV’s.
