Incredible outdoor ventures in Prep

Bridgewater pupil climbing a tree at the Conway Centre in Tattenhall

As part of the Prep Department’s residential trip initiative, the start of a new academic year brings exciting opportunities for our children to challenge themselves and experience the great outdoors in a whole new way.

The trips, which provide an essential platform for the learning journey ahead, are designed to forge and strengthen bonds with peers and teachers alike and enable pupils to develop self-knowledge, resilience, self-esteem and self-confidence within a new and stimulating environment.

This year our Key Stage 2 pupils travelled to the amazing Conway Centre in Tattenhall, where they shared valuable experiences and enjoyed a variety of activities including canoeing, climbing, archery, zip wire and camping expeditions, all with the freedom and independence that this natural adventure provides.

The freedom to be yourself is the greatest freedom of all
