Schools
May the steps we take today be the footprints that others follow tomorrow….
Children grow into the adults of tomorrow and here at Reuben’s we want to support young, inquisitive minds to grow with hearts that are full of compassion and kindness for others.
To work in partnership with schools is a huge privilege that we treasure and we would love to hear from primary and secondary schools and colleges. We will always work with your setting to ensure our words and stories match your focus and are developmentally appropriate.
Assembly’s
We are committed to supporting the work of schools in developing resilience in children and young people. We love coming along to speak to whole schools, individual groups or classes and staff teams. Everybody can benefit from our story of how helping others helps us too and how from every difficult moment comes learning, growth and hope to be cherished.
World Book Week
We have been gifted two very special books that we own and can visit with our friendly mascot REU the GNU to read and talk about the books during World Book Week but also throughout the school year.
Citizenship
The ability for all children to grow into healthy, happy and productive citizens is a goal that we share with all education settings. We can work in partnership with schools and colleges to support the school citizenship curriculum and help develop young minds that recognise the importance of supporting others.
Fundraising
We have lots of proven ways that your school or college can get involved in ‘FUNraising’ as we like to call it here at Reuben’s! We have resources just for schools to allow your events to be run as smoothly as possible, our FUNraisers will support you every step of the way too. Our dress REUBlue and eat Sausage and Mash days are firm favourites with young people of all ages!
Visits to Reuben’s Retreat
When we can, we love to throw open the doors of our forever home to groups of children and young people so they can see and hear more about the work we do. We also are keen to support students that are completing DOE and other awards schemes. Please talk to us about how we may be able to make the most of our work and vision to also support the development and personal growth of young people.
Please give us a call to talk through how we may be able to work with your nursery, school or college on 01457 680023 or email enquiries@reubensretreat.org
