Expanding Opportunities for Challenge and Adventure

As a school we like to give our pupils every opportunity to challenge themselves and get into the great outdoors.

New to the curriculum this term is the Lower Sixth Adventure Activity Wednesday afternoon programme. 22 students have already been out hiking in the South Downs National Park, Kayaking in our school pool and Petersfield Lake, learning how to light fires without matches, cooking basic snacks and riding the trails on Mountain bikes in Queen Elizabeth Country Park.
Future activities planned include fly fishing, further campcraft skills, rock climbing, raft building, pioneering challenges, orienteering and more hikes, plus paddling and mountain biking.

Training for the gruelling Ten Tors challenge begins after the Autumn half term for Fourth Years and Lower Sixth pupils, with weekly Sunday training hikes and navigation skills, leading up to the annual Ten Tors Challenge which takes place on Dartmoor in May each year.
