We attended the official opening of the senior campus at Daldorch House School and Continuing Education Centre today.
Wow what a place! The school is set within 11 acres of idyllic Ayrshire woodlands. The setting really is something to behold.
The new senior campus includes 35 residential apartments including some bedsit accomodation for the more able folk.
The classrooms are very low stimulus with very little in the way of distractions save for cupboards for students work. Even the computer is locked away out of site when not in use.
The is an enterprise cottage where the folks learn some manufacturing and indeed they are making some fine flower troughs for the new Girvan station in conjunction with British Rail. The cottge also includes an Arts & Crafts room and a large “allotment” where veg and herbs etc are growing for use in the students cooking.
A big congrats must go to Shona and her staff at the school and indeed the funraising team for all there efforts to finance the project!
