This year’s camp for Heritage Year 5 and 6 pupils was a memorable outdoor adventure set against the beautiful backdrop of the Norfolk Broads. Led by Mr Fox and supported by a dedicated team of staff and volunteers, the three-day camp was filled with outdoor activities, team-building exercises, and plenty of fun. Activities included paddleboarding down the serene River Bure, testing limits with climbing challenges, sailing on Barton Broad, a geocaching treasure hunt, and building shelters in the wild. As the sun set, everyone gathered for a hearty dinner before engaging in an epic game of capture the flag, wrapping up the day with hot chocolate around the campfire.

The pupils were expertly cared for by a team including Mrs Watkins, Mr Campbell, Mr Dalton, Miss Innes, Mrs Bracegirdle, Mr Bonsor-Matthews, Mr Romans, and Mr Smye. Their combined efforts ensured a safe, enjoyable, and educational experience for all the campers. This year’s camp left pupils with new skills, strengthened friendships, and a deeper appreciation for the great outdoors. 

Years 7 & 8 pupils had an unforgettable experience at camp in the Peak District last week. Blessed with beautiful weather, the campers explored a viaduct and river valley, scrambled through limestone caves, tested their biking skills on a pump track, and cycled the picturesque Monsall Head trail. A highlight was the spectacular hike along Edale’s ridge on the final full day of camp. Evenings featured delicious dinners prepared by Mrs Bruins, games of capture the flag and, on the final evening, time around a campfire. Thanks to the dedicated staff: Mr Fox, Mr Burden, Mrs Eastwood, Mrs Scarlata, Miss Innes, and the wonderful volunteers: Rachel Bruins, Ruth Bruins, and Vladimir Artamanovs, each of whom made this year’s camp a great success.
