Just a quick blog to finish the week… The children had their final activity this morning. Miss Jones’ group went caving. I believe that almost all of them did the ‘Cat’s Crawl’ which is very challenging. Most ended up in Eglin’s Cave. Mr Harris’ group and Mrs Du Preez’s group did the via ferrata Read More

That said, they were all up bright and early this morning, full of energy and ready to take on another action-packed day of adventure.

We’ve had a fantastic first day on our Year 6 residential with 6D. The weather has been absolutely glorious—clear blue skies and sunshine all around. Very different from our Y5 residential! Despite the heat, we’ve been lucky that the shade of the gorge (and the occasional cave!) offers a cool and refreshing escape from Read More
