Stratford Residential Still Going Strong!

Year 7 pupils make friends and memories on their first trip away with the school.

Back in September and October, our new Year 7 pupils experienced a fantastic two-day residential trip to Stratford-upon-Avon. Each of our five form groups (7S, 7T, 7R, 7B, 7C) enjoyed their own separate trip, and it was a fantastic opportunity for the boys to make new friends and get to know their Form Tutors. Activities included the Butterfly Zoo, crazy golf, a boat trip, a visit to the Mad Science Museum and a brilliant drama workshop with the RSC. 7S were the first class to head off, barely a week after the start of the new school year, and are pictured here having a great time at the Butterfly Zoo.

Do you remember your first residential trip? We would love to hear from any alumni who would like to share their memories!
