Weardale

The highlight of Year 6 is our residential trip to Weardale House, Ireshopeburn, in the Summer term. The girls and staff take part in a variety of outward bound activities including gorge walking, canoeing, rock climbing, abseiling and orienteering under the careful supervision of fully qualified instructors. Evening activities are great fun and on the last evening the girls enjoy dressing up for a disco. Every girl takes a turn at washing up and other household chores and they are encouraged to keep their dormitories tidy!

At the end of the week the girls return to school exhausted but with many happy memories and a great sense of achievement.
