Residentials

Wherever possible we try to make the most of our local area when planning our residentials. Being located in the wonderful Peak District is magical and we have everything we need right on our doorstep. By staying local not only do we support local business and help our children to feel a connection with where they live, but we also reduce our carbon footprint by only travelling a short distance!

We have a wonderful time on our residentials, creating lasting memories. Examples of our trips away from school are;

Forest Class went for a stunning walk around the hills of Kettleshulme, they then went to our on site Quiet Garden for a campfire tea before putting on their PJS and snuggling up for a story and a hot chocolate before their parents came to collect them.

Meadow Class, along with Year 5, made use of our local Forest School (situated at Clayton Christmas Tree Farm). We invited a local artist to join us as well as a local falconer and then on day two, after a hearty breakfast at the Village Hall, we visited another magical Forest School situated in Alderley Edge where we did some woodland management tasks.

Year 6 spent two nights camping in Edale where we cooked all of our own food on camping stoves and put up (and took down) our own tents. During the day we hiked, climbed, jumped, paddled and played. It was amazing.

The children play a big part in planning our residentials as this makes them even more exciting and memorable.
