🏃♂️ In April one of our staff members Ben completed the London Marathon this Proudly raising money for our Outdoor Provision. - Thank you to all who supported/ sponsored him.
Southgate School caters for young people aged 4 – 16 who have a range of learning and physical disabilities.
Challenging disability and developing self-belief, team work skills and an awareness of the world around them is achieved through outdoor education and is an essential element of our curriculum. Being outdoors gives our Southgate youngsters the opportunity to discover their potential, interact socially and learn so many valuable new skills.
Raising funds for our expeditions and daily outdoor activities is crucial in continuing to improve the lives, wellbeing and opportunities for our pupils. The memories and experience our pupils gain from this is priceless!
All the money we raise will go towards our Hadrians Wall expedition and future residential opportunities as well as funding our very successful outdoor programme.
We hope that you will be able to help us.
