We are delighted that an exciting new opportunity has now arisen, enabling a small group of pupils to learn traditional boat-building and maintenance skills while working alongside trained professionals at Hunter's Yard in Ludham.

The pupils selected for this project have chosen Product Design as one of their option subjects for next year. Mr. Green, Head of Faculty for Creative Industries, felt they would benefit enormously from the experience of working in a professional workshop environment, developing practical skills and techniques that will support their future studies and qualifications.

The eight pupils involved have been divided into two groups of four. On alternate Tuesdays, during their double Technology lesson, they travel by minibus to Hunter's Yard to work on Elf, helping to restore this important part of the school's history.

We look forward to sharing updates and photographs of their progress over the coming weeks.
