Which curriculum topics do we cater for?
Team Building Workshop
As a dedicated team building event, Mission Possible is designed to strengthen collaboration, communication, and trust. Students must plan, delegate, and problem-solve together to achieve a shared goal—skills that translate directly to success in both education and life. The challenges are structured to highlight each student’s contribution, helping them recognise their value in a team. By facing setbacks and celebrating successes together, students build resilience, motivation, and group cohesion in a fun, inclusive environment.
Physical Education Workshop
Mission Possible links directly to the PE curriculum by incorporating team-based physical challenges that develop coordination, spatial awareness, and gross motor skills. Tasks encourage students to work together, move with purpose, and use strategic thinking in active games that promote fitness and fun. The event also enhances personal and social development, such as leadership, fair play, and resilience—key outcomes in high-quality physical education.
PSHE Workshop
Teamwork and resilience
Mission Possible strongly supports the PSHE curriculum by developing essential life skills through experiential learning. Students enhance their self-awareness, emotional regulation, and decision-making as they tackle challenges under pressure. The event encourages healthy risk-taking, resilience, and independence, while reinforcing the value of respect, active listening, and inclusion. Working in diverse teams promotes positive relationships, empathy, and a sense of shared responsibility—all central to the themes of Health and Wellbeing, Relationships, and Living in the Wider World.
Maths Workshop
Logic and Problem Solving Geometry Shape
The event supports the Maths curriculum by encouraging students to apply their numeracy and reasoning skills in real-life problem-solving scenarios. Activities may involve counting, measuring, calculating distances, and analysing patterns, all while working under time pressure and in teams. Pupils develop logical thinking, strategic planning, and the ability to interpret data and solve problems collaboratively—key components of mathematical fluency and application.
English Workshop
Comprehension Heroes and villains Storytelling
Mission Possible enhances the English curriculum by immersing students in an engaging, narrative led experience that strengthens speaking and listening, reading comprehension, and collaborative discussion. Pupils work in teams to interpret written clues, follow instructions, and communicate clearly with one another—building confidence in verbal expression, vocabulary use, and critical thinking. These challenges help students develop language for purpose and audience, all within a fun, interactive setting.
