Students from Bladon House School have been learning to sail at Burton Sailing Club. The six week courses are backed by £500 of Sports Across Staffordshire Sportivate funding.

Over the past two years the sailing club has successfully developed a bespoke scheme for working with children and young people with Special Educational Needs, providing a range of activities where they can safely experience sensory and emotional stimulation and have fun.

The course has significantly helped to develop students communication skills and increase their confidence and independence.
