Year 9 trip to Storey Arms

An opportunity has arisen for children in Year 9 to attend a residential trip to Storey Arms Outdoor Education Centre between 27 November and 01 December 2023.

This trip is particularly suited to those young people considering studying GCSE PE in Key Stage 4 as it will provide an introduction to some of the practical aspects of the course. The cost of the trip is £175 which includes transport, accommodation, insurance, food, specialist equipment and instruction from qualified centre staff.

Those attending will have a chance to participate in a range of activities including canoeing, climbing, caving, gorge walking, mountain walking and orienteering. An emphasis will be given to the importance of teamwork, both when participating in activities and whilst living together in the centre.

Please note that places for this trip are limited as the centre has a maximum capacity.

At this time, we are accepting expressions of interest. If the number of interested people exceeds the places available, a draw will take place for fairness. Those who do not secure a place will be kept on a reserve list.

To express an interest in the residential trip, please email Mrs Griffiths directly with the name of your child no later than 3pm on Friday 06 October 2023. Further details will follow in due course.
