Year Five students have had yet another successful trip to Hawkhirst, Kielder.  In total a record number of 98 children attended the residential trip and were treated to an action packed 4 days of activities including climbing, abseiling, bellboating and shelter building.  We took over the entire centre and 12 pupils were treated to 3 nights under canvas in the centre’s new Tented Village – a great experience!

The Scout Association once again provided an amazing service with excellent food, great accommodation and a wide variety of well-organised activities that challenged all pupils.  It is truly rewarding for the staff to see so many pupils push themselves beyond their limits and achieve so much.

Thank you to those parents who gave up their time to join the trip, and also to the many kind messages received since returning.  No doubt, many families had a peaceful night on Friday as their children collapsed early into bed – the staff certainly did!
