Peak District trip

Over the weekend a group of our students had their preparation weekend in the Peak District for our Expedition Trip to Romania in July. They displayed amazing teamwork skills, showed great resilience in challenging circumstances and lived by each of our BCA values. We are now looking forward to working with them in the Bear Sanctuary in Romania, hiking in the Carphatians, visiting Bucharest and Dracula’s Castle. They are all an absolute asset to our school and we couldn’t be prouder of each and every one of them.
Peak District Day 1

 

Day 1 – We arrived at the campsite and quickly set up all the tents for the weekend followed by cooking some delicious food. 🙂 It was lovely to see everyone doing their bit and preparing for the challenges that lay ahead over the weekend.
Peak District Day 2
Day 2 – We had an amazing hike to the top of Mam Tor and despite some little challenges, none of us gave up. We all made it by working as a team, showing kindness and just being  superstars. 🙂

Our Year 10 students took part in work experience last week, 17th – 21st March. The students were encouraged to find their own placements to fit with their individual career ideas or activities they enjoy. There was a wide range of placements including Engineering, Education and Pre School, Farming, Animal Care, Construction, Office based, Hairdressing, Retail and many more.

These photos show some of the amazing opportunities they had whilst on placement.
