The great outdoors

Our full trips programme might be suspended at present, but we have still been able to offer pupils the chance to enjoy a day of fun and adventure with their friends. Click the photographs below to view the gallery of images from each trip.

Last year’s Shells, now Removes, enjoyed all things outdoors during their ‘day camps’ at Beaudesert Camp Site. We were able to provide some of the most popular activities they would normally experience on Shells Camp, from archery and games to campfire cooking – their faces say it all!

Day Camps

This term, Removes, Upper Middles and Fourths have enjoyed a day in the caves during their caving trips in the High Peak region in Derbyshire.
