Camphill Wakefield (Pennine Camphill Community Ltd)

At Pennine all areas of the students’ lives — at home, in the classroom, in the work areas and workshops, the leisure and cultural activities — provide opportunities for learning. We create a lively, stimulating but structured environment that draws students into the learning process and allows them to thrive. We aim to develop social and independent-living skills and work-related skills, including transferable skills such as working as part of a group and taking responsibility for one’s own work. Our approach stimulates creativity and allows students to build a sense of achievement and develop self-confidence and self-esteem.
