Lunch is taken in the Observatory with other pupils from the main school for those who are confident to participate. Pupils who lack confidence will have the opportunity to take lunch in The Lodge. However they will be encouraged over time to develop their independence and access the inclusion opportunities on offer, for those pupils this will always be considered in line with the pupil's individual presenting needs and identified within an inclusion plan in discussion with parents and carers.
Pupils engage in 2 learning activities after lunch with Thursday being a longer day to allow for identified pupils to access Carrington School Excellence programme.

Pupils will engage in learning at the Lodge with the Lodge teachers for much of their core curriculum.
Subject Specialist teaching staff provide learning opportunities for Music & Drama, PE, Art, Science, Food Technology Forest schools. After a settling in period and when they are ready pupils are encouraged to attend the main school classrooms for these sessions within their local group having access to the specialist resources.
