A textbook travel mission out to Duddingston Loch for the Transitions Programme group last week while the sun was still out. Planning the connections, reading live boards, and navigating through town with zero fuss.

Every journey builds the practical confidence to tackle the next one independently.

𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧 𝘽𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 🍞

It’s Bread Week in the Edge kitchen, and the groups took on their own technical challenges, proving they’re rising to the occasion with every loaf.

Sessions like this go far beyond standard baking. Mastering a recipe means practicing accurate measuring, following multi-step instructions, managing time, and planning ahead. They’re the exact practical skills that build real confidence and independence when preparing meals at home.

We think these bakes would definitely be getting a Paul Hollywood handshake. 🤝

Our group navigated from Edge to North Queensferry, putting a whole range of independent travel skills into action along the way.

From checking timetables and buying tickets to learning new routes and timing connections, every step of the journey was planned and managed by the group. It’s all about building real confidence, adaptability, and real-world problem-solving.

The Academy Programme group worked on turning, building control, balance, and quick decision-making. It takes real resilience to push through and master a new skill, especially when it’s as “fresh” as it is today!

Bring on the rest of the ski season!
