"The whole Arundel experience is a first for many of our students. These children come from areas where the pressure to join a gang is relentless, the opportunity to be a child again is a relief. I regularly see complete transformations in my students, they lose that defensive look, they relax, smile and laugh. For some it is just the sheer boost in their confidence that is a joy to behold, and this can be regularly referenced on our return. Many colleagues and parents have reported on seeing a change in many of the students who are lucky enough to visit Arundel."

"There are also countless opportunities to teach life skills to our population of pupils who have language and communication difficulties, including autism. Our accommodation at Lodge Hill is the perfect setting to further develop life-long social and personal skills."

"Many thanks for choosing our school to come and share the beauty that is Arundel and to enjoy learning some cricket skills. The last few days have been really lovely and as previously mentioned, some of these children are currently seeing CAMHS, some expressing suicidal ideation, some with other mental health issues. The chance to be here, in serene and green grounds with lots of fresh air and exercise has visibly reduced many anxieties and given respite to their families. Thank you."
