We had an action packed activities week this year, with the main highlight being a trip to Paris for Form 1 and 2! Organised by Mrs Webber, with Ms Vetch and Mr Grey also attending, this three-day trip really was a highlight for everyone! After an overnight bus to catch the early Ferry, the group headed straight up the Eiffel Tower as soon as they arrived, a fantastic experience with many having never visited before. The rest of the day was spent visiting the city’s other landmarks including Le Louvre and L’Arc de Triumph. After a crepe making workshop and an early night, the next day they set off to Disneyland Paris for a day of fun on the rides! This was followed up by a swim in the outdoor pool at their accommodation that evening! More exploring in Paris took place the next morning before they set off home. 

For those Form 1 and 2 pupils that didn’t want to go abroad, a residential at PGL Beam House provided the perfect alternative, with the pupils taking part in trapeze, climbing, problem solving, a sensory trail, abseiling, archery and disc golf! For others, they had the option of staying on site and going on local days out to Clovelly and The Beach School at Bude, as well as taking part in a mosaics workshop and creating some beautiful designs.

Meanwhile, Form 3 spent the three days hiking on the Devon and Cornwall coastline for the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze expedition. It is brilliant to see how popular the award is at this level, with the entire year group opting to take part! 

Form 4 took part in UCAS workshops and a session with Young Driver, giving them their first taste of driving a car around Tower car park, followed up by a trip to Thorpe Park!
