Welcome back to school activities for pupils old and new at the Senior School have included a trip to Sheringham aboard the local steam train, ‘The Black Prince; an informal Chapel service in the Theatre in the Woods, an all-important pizza night, beach visit and a high ropes course outing starting from the Bourdillon Tower.

Even though the high ropes course access only starts half way up the 25m-high tower in the School woods, it still needs encouragement to make it around the course! The new Year 9 Woodlands boys took working as a team to heart, after receiving a safety briefing about equipment, helping each other along the mini zip wires and other elements. There will be an opportunity for other year groups to try out the 220-metre zip wire and low ropes course in due course.
