KS3 Life Skills: Hairdressing & Self-Care
Our KS3 pupils have been taking part in Hairdressing Life Skills sessions this week — a brilliant opportunity to build confidence, practice regulation strategies and learn how to care for their appearance.
From brushing and styling to learning basic hair care routines, pupils developed fine-motor skills, independence and pride in their presentation. They supported each other, took turns, and enjoyed a calm, therapeutic space to practice real-world skills.
At Venn Boulevard, we know that looking after yourself is part of feeling good, and these sessions help pupils build routines that support both wellbeing and self-esteem

Every student listened brilliantly to instructions and was courteous to the public in the soft play area . It turned into a fantastic team-bonding adventure , everyone joined in, supported each other and made some brilliant memories.
They encouraged each other to tackle their fears on the slides, burst into laughter on the trampolines, and finished with an epic game of tig!
Well done, Port! You worked so hard to earn this reward and made us proud with your behaviour, teamwork and positivity
