Our Wider Offer
At Mabe we strive for children to be the best that they can be, not just in their learning, but in their wider personal development. As such, we offer an exciting variety of trips, residentials and visitors plus sporting activities during our PE provision in school as well as extracurricular clubs after schools and at lunchtimes.
Some of our exciting wider offer opportunities include:
- Granite Planet indoor climbing: Our lower key stage 2 children attend weekly indoor climbing sessions as part of their PE lessons. This adventurous sport not only builds children’s strength but also their self-confidence and resilience.
- Helford Passage Sailing: Key stage 2 children enjoy a term of sailing as part of their PE provision. Children extend their knowledge of our local geography as well as gaining valuable skills in team work and communication.
- Surfing: In upper Key Stage 2 children attend intensive surfing sessions during PE and can choose to attend after-school surf lessons. Valuable beach and sea safety is taught and children have the opportunity to explore the beautiful Cornish coast.
- Residential trips. In year 4 and 6 children attend residential trips both locally at Porthpean and to Barton Hall PGL camp in Devon. Children participate in a wide variety of activities from raft building to abseiling, archery to orienteering. The camps give the children the chance to experience independence in a safe environment and create wonderful memories with their peers.
