Café

During term time, Paddock School Café is open to the public on the following days: 

Wednesday 10.00am to 1.15pm  

Thursday 10.00am to 1.15pm 

Friday 12pm to 1.15pm.

The café is run by the sixth form students with the help of Josie Rose & Lorna Rose together with some amazing local community volunteers. 

The café has two aims; firstly to provide work experience for older students - something that is very difficult to do outside the protective environment of school. Our students are taught the many skills of working in a café: to carry a tray, work the till, clear tables, take orders to customers, wash up and make the food that is sold in the café.

Secondly, and just as importantly, the café showcases the abilities of young people with learning difficulties. At Paddock School Café you will witness what our students can do, see their numerous abilities rather than focus on their disabilities. In the café our students are actively providing a service for the local community.

Within its cosy and attractive interior the public can enjoy produce made by the sixth form students: home-made cakes, sandwiches, soup, Panini's or cottage pie.
