Form 1 trip to Marrick Priory

Form 1’s much-anticipated weekend at Marrick Priory was a resounding success. After the excitement of the nightline, and many of the children’s first night away from their parents, they all got stuck in to their activities for the day. All the staff were really impressed with the children’s courage while ascending the climbing wall and abseiling down the Priory tower. The children’s listening and teamwork skills were really put to the test during their orienteering task and they also enjoyed competing against the staff in archery competitions. Together the pupils and their teachers celebrated William’s birthday (with the biggest cake they’d ever seen!) and enjoyed a trip to the ice cream parlour on Saturday. Everyone left with fond memories and a real sense of accomplishment.
