Oaker Wood Trip
On 21st June, forty-three Year 8 pupils set off to Oaker Wood Leisure in the Herefordshire countryside for 3 days of glamping and outdoor activities! The 3 days were full of adventure: rafting; paint-balling; high rope courses; crate staking; zip wiring; tree climbing; quad biking; team challenging; and of course – hide and seek in the dark! All pupils participated in each activity, showing high spirit and excellent team work. They were all a real pleasure to take on the trip.
