Community Meet Ups & School Days Out

Community Meet Ups

As The Haven is growing, we will have regular physical meet ups for our Learning Community and their families, and we can’t tell you how much we’re looking forward to it! Our Haven Hub (the self-elected name of our Pupil Parliament) are already researching where they’d like to go next, to find venues spread around the country that are as accessible and neurodivergent-friendly as possible!

Just before Easter 2026 we met up in Stratford upon Avon, and had great fun exploring the Royal Shakespeare Company Theatre with a private behind the scenes tour, a stroll down the riverbank to Trinity Church where William Shakespeare is buried, a delicious lunch and a tour of Shakespeare’s Birthplace where we were just in time for a live outdoor short performance of Romeo and Juliet’s balcony scene.

School Days Out

As we grow, we’ll organise some fun days out for The Haven Learning Community – led by all of you of course! But here’s some possibilities to get you thinking:
