Over 50 of our most able students descended on the countryside of Northumberland over the bank holiday weekend, with two main goals; to have lots fun and to revise with a vengeance. Students studying for the GCSE in ICT were accompanied by the whole ICT department, who trained them in revision skills and facilitated a range of bespoke study sessions. When not revising, the group embarked on a range of outdoor activities including fire-lighting, problem-solving, jacobs’ ladder climbing and, of course, the exhilarating 3G swing.

To end the evenings, students were rewarded with a cup of hot chocolate before bed. Students demonstrated their ability to stretch and challenge themselves both with their studies and the outdoor activities. Well done you are all A*!
