Yr10 and Yr11 had a great time in the Lake District at the weekend whilst visiting Derwent Hill. There was an opportunity to see Geography in action and look at how glaciers have shaped the mountainous landscape as well as a bit of English and thinking about how poets such as William Wordsworth were inspired by their surroundings.

Students participated in a wide range of adventurous activities including gorge walking up Honister Pass, Canoeing across Derwentwater, exploring abandoned slate mines and ascending the high ropes course (as well as an old classic – the death swing)!

All of the students were excellent ambassadors for Southmoor Academy and rose to every challenge.
