Public Services and Sport Course at Strode College

L2 Sport and Public Services students exploring the Polden Hills today, we even found some friendly horses. Practical Land Nav is always worth it.

First year public services spent their day working on their expedition skills, all had a fantastic time despite the frequent downpours and the constant bog dodging.

Level 3 UPS students on their team building residential on Exmoor, great experience for all involved.

The first few weeks of term with the level 2 students, full of team building and friendship forging activities.

Second year Public Services students working on their self discipline unit.

The students hold the rope and their nerve, with the Marines at Lympstone on a cold November morning.

A terrific day at Lympstone with the Royal Marines, putting the students through their paces. Hopefully the day has inspired some of the students to continue with their plans to progress into the forces.

1st Year UPS students riot training with Avon and Somerset Police. A great day watching these professionals at work.

Team building, problem solving and weapons with the Royal Engineers today. Great experience for all involved.

Two days of camping and activities at Wimbleball Lake. Despite 12 hours of rain a great time was had by all.

The 2016-17 intake. New students getting to know each other and developing problem solving and team working skills with Jules' "Parachuting Eggs" task.
