Students had the opportunity to try their hand at air rifles, archery, Jacob’s Ladder and indoor climbing, with plenty of chances to step outside their comfort zones and have a go at something new.

The trip provided a great opportunity for students to build confidence, develop teamwork skills and get to know their new tutor groups outside of the classroom. It was also a valuable chance for tutors to spend time with their groups and get to know their new students better.

We were also very lucky with the weather, which was kind to us throughout the week and helped make the experience even more enjoyable.

It was a brilliant opportunity for our new Year 7 students to have fun, challenge themselves and start building relationships as they begin their journey at Hellesdon High School.
