We are immensely proud of our Class 4 pupils, who returned this week from their residential visit to Ford Castle in Berwick. The children embraced a wide range of adventurous activities, including raft building, fencing, the zip wire and the ever-popular “leap of faith.” These experiences not only provided great excitement and enjoyment, but also played a vital role in developing confidence, resilience and teamwork. Residential visits such as this encourage children to step outside of their comfort zones, build independence and form lasting friendships—skills which are invaluable both in and beyond the classroom. My thanks go to the staff who supported the trip and ensured it was such a success.
