By exposing children and young people to new environments, experiences and challenges they can develop as successful learners, learning independently and as a part of a group, linking and applying different kinds of learning in new situations and becoming open to new thinking and ideas. Our programmes help participants how to learn, thereby encouraging them to become truly successful learners.

 

 

Emphasising a sense of physical, mental and emotional well-being, the ethos at Abernethy is to encourage pupils to pursue healthy and active lifestyles engendering good relations with others and management of themselves as they live away from home and school. The children and young people are given opportunities to assess risk and make informed decisions, building success in different areas of activity and becoming confident individuals.


Responsible Citizens

 

We aim to create an atmosphere that emphasises personal responsibility and respect for others. As a charitable trust founded on Christian principles our aim is to develop a knowledge and understanding of Christianity and to recognise faith as an important expression of human experience. The opportunity exists to explore moral values and to develop skills in reflection, discernment and critical thinking, making informed choices, evaluations and decisions.
