Our Year 8 students are having an absolute blast at Herd Farm! They've been bonding, exploring, and learning so much during this incredible residential experience. From team-building challenges to nature hikes, every moment has been filled with laughter and discovery. It's great to see them grow, make new friends, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

A group of excited year 8 students are spending their first night on residential, they have already completed a challenging assault course, been orienteering and demonstrated their skills in archery today! After dinner all students and staff braved a night walk, before settling down with a film before bed. They are all demonstrating our values and expectations especially resilience when trying new things.
