Last weekend, our Year 6 children enjoyed an amazing residential at Grafham. Many described it as “the best time of my life” and said it was something they’d never forget! 

Throughout the trip, the children embraced new experiences, pushed themselves beyond their comfort zones and showed fantastic teamwork, all while having an enormous amount of fun. The staff who went would like to praise the children for their positive attitude and exemplary behaviour! Miss Simmons and the rest of the staff couldn’t have been prouder (although that didn’t stop them from getting soaked during the Grafham challenge!). 

All in all, it was a brilliant weekend spent with an amazing group of children. Parents, you should be very proud! 

I’m sure parents will join me in thanking the staff members who gave up their weekend to accompany the children and helped to ensure lasting memories were made!  

Pupil Voice 

Adam - I personally enjoyed Grafham very much particularly the bike ride around the lake. I also very much enjoyed the Kayaking and the canoeing. The food wasn't bad and I didn't starve! It was fun to share a room with my friends and all in all I really enjoyed Grafham.  

Stanley - I think it was really fun especially the raft building. It was really hard and challenging but in the end, when we were on the water with it, it was really fun. This was my favourite bit. I also liked the climbing wall and I got all the way to the top. I would like to go to Grafham again!  

Kailie - The bike riding was hard but once you get going it got easier and I enjoyed it. The wall climb was probably my favourite thing and I almost got to the top. Being in the rooms with friends was fun but the boys were upstairs and it sounded like they were jumping up and down and stopping us from sleeping! If I could, I would want to go back and do it again - I loved it.  

Jax - I enjoyed Grafham. It was 10 out of 10. I liked the mountain biking best because it was relaxing! I liked Kayaking on the lake. We all had our own and it was really fun.
