LOPC Home Educators Group

Summer is just around the corner, but we're still here! ☀️
With groups of fewer than 10 learners, there's plenty of individual support and opportunities to work towards recognised qualifications.
From trying new activities to developing new skills, there are lots of options available throughout the summer. Come along, make friends, learn something new, and discover what interests you.

Last Friday, we challenged ourselves with a range of exciting outdoor activities. We tested our courage and balance on the Leap of Faith before abseiling safely back to the ground.

After lunch, we continued with more roped activities, including our favourite, ATPF. To finish the day, we cooled off with a refreshing jump into the river — a fantastic end to an adventurous and rewarding experience.

Our Holiday and Food Programme is now live.

Another fantastic week with our home education group as they continue their NICAS and AQA Unit Award in climbing 🧗‍♂️

This session wasn’t just about climbing up – it was all about using their skills and knowledge to boulder across the wall. Travelling sideways challenged them to think carefully about movement, balance, and route choice.

It was great to see them problem-solving, staying focused, and applying what they’ve learned in a new way. Lots of determination and some brilliant teamwork too!

Well done everyone – you’re making great progress each week 👏

🌿 Home Ed Social Day 🌿

📅 Wednesday 25th June



🌎🐾 Theme: Nature Day 🐾🌎



Join us for a wonderful Nature Day, where learning happens outdoors through exploration, creativity, and discovery!

Throughout the day, children will:

🐦 Identify animals and learn about living things

🌳 Explore flora and fauna, naming creatures and plants they discover

🛡️ Learn how to stay safe outdoors while exploring nature

🏡 Explore habitats, understanding where animals live and why

🍂 Use natural materials to build and create, encouraging imagination and hands‑on learning



This day focuses on connection with nature, observation skills, and teamwork, all while enjoying fresh air and social time with friends.

A perfect day for curious explorers and nature lovers alike! 🌼🌞

Another great session with our home education group as they continue working towards their NICAS and AQA Unit Award in climbing 🧗‍♂️

Today’s focus was all about teamwork – supporting each other, communicating clearly, and working together to solve challenges on and off the wall.
It was brilliant to see them encouraging one another, building trust, and developing confidence as a team. These are just as important as the climbing skills themselves.
Well done everyone – great effort all round! 👏
