What are the benefits of EFL to pupils of TRS?
Winston Churchill once said: “There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.”
Spending time with horses has been proven to have huge benefits for wellbeing. Participating in EFL has shown that young people are supported to develop skills such as communication, self-control, problem solving and accountability, as well as improving self-esteem, confidence, and independence.
Is EFL available to all pupils?
The EFL program at TRS is run on a 5-week cycle, with 12 pupils in small groups of 4 participating each week. The programme is offered on rotation, so pupils (depending on attendance) have the opportunity to take part in this activity!

Last week, we celebrated the hard work and achievements of our Year 11 students with a memorable Leavers Day celebration. We spent the day reminiscing and creating new memories with an awards assembly, followed by a BBQ and treats.
A big thank you to the parents, teachers, and friends who have supported our students along the way. Your guidance and encouragement have been invaluable.
Here's to the Class of 2024!
You've all worked hard and grown so much. This milestone marks the end of one chapter and the exciting beginning of another.
We’re proud of what you've accomplished and look forward to seeing what you achieve next.
