Cockington Teacher Helping Pupils Outdoors

30 Ways To Connect

At Cockington, we believe that learning goes far beyond the classroom. 30 Ways to Connect is our promise to every child: a joyful, varied journey of experiences that help pupils discover more about the world, each other, and themselves.

The more things you try, the more you'll grow – the more you see, the more you know!

Explore

Step into new experiences – from wild spaces to theatre stages – and discover what lights you up.

Belong

Build friendships, share adventures and feel a deeper connection to your school, community and the wider world.

Grow

Every activity helps you develop new skills, confidence and a sense of who you are and what matters to you.

How to take part

Every one of these 30 Ways to Connect is a doorway to something special – and your school is here to help you step through.

Just click on any experience to find out more about what’s involved and how your school might already be planning to make it happen. Whether it’s a day out, a fun activity, or a new challenge, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
