Visiting the local care home, raising money for charities, and sharing their learning on 'Quilters TV' are just some of the rich and carefully chosen opportunities that pupils have. Pupils develop empathy and respect for the older generation by training as 'dementia friends' and writing to their inter- generational pen pals.
