Amazing efforts by our students, so proud of everything they have achieved. 💚

A wonderful and ground-breaking set of results for all learners today. Some near misses on the grade boundaries, but significant improvement for all concerned.
Completely transformational. Well done everyone.

We’re closed now until 4th September for students (2nd for staff) and
with so many new plans for The Montana Project, we’re already excited to be back (well, Ali is). 🐴 🌳 🚜

A fabulous moment today when the horse/student connection is absolute. Watching the growth in our students through all of our animals is fab but when we get these moments, everyone gets something out of it. Thankyou sweet Tally (horse) for supporting our students too.
Have a great weekend everyone. 💚
