Ullswater - update

Despite the snow, we are making good time. We will be back at the Academy earlier than scheduled. Expect us between 5:00pm and 5:30pm. The Academy gates will be opened when the bus arrives. Students have been asked to ring or text parents as they get closer to home.

Thank you to all parents for supporting this trip, a real life experience for each member of the group.

Ullswater trip - The End

The action packed weekend is over! We've all had to overcome some difficulties and work out of our comfort zones, but it's been rewarding in so many ways.
Some tired little people are now on their way home, scheduled to arrive at Horbury Academy for 5:30pm.

Ullswater -Last Day




We all survived the night out in the woods. Happy faces this morning with the knowledge they have all done something new and they actually enjoyed it!

The group are all tucked up in their sleeping bags after a very full day of activities and challenges. With top quality statements such as "this is the best experience of my life" and "I've learned a lot about myself and some skills" I think it'll be a trip to remember. . .

Camp is made, dinner in tummies and sat round the fire.
