This past weekend, we welcomed boarders to join in with our inaugural ‘In-Weekend’.

The activities kicked off with pupils gathering in their Houses and across campus, engaging in lively conversations and getting to know one another better. Saturday evening saw everyone dining together in the dining hall before a special blessing from Rev. Jack, complete with generous chocolate treats.

Afterwards, the fun continued outdoors with a game of manhunt in the school woods followed by Prefect-led sports including rounders, cricket, and football. Pupils then returned to their Houses to relax — some enjoying movie nights and pampering sessions, while others gathered around fire pits to make s’mores.

Sunday started with a quick boarders’ run and a refreshing Pilates session before pupils enjoyed the much-anticipated brunch in the CFB. The afternoon featured a trip to Holkham Beach. With sunny skies and a gentle breeze, the pupils made the most of the visit — many stopping first for ice cream before heading down to the shore explore.

Back at Gresham’s, pupils had time to unwind or practice music in the Britten Building, followed by a hearty Sunday roast dinner. Some took advantage of the school pool for a twilight swim to round off the weekend.

In the coming weeks pupils will have the chance to part-take in a range of activities, including paddle boarding, hockey on the Astros, cricket nets, climbing tower challenges, robotics and VR sessions, art workshops, pizza making, and local trips to Sheringham for seaside fun and shopping.
