On 1 July 2020 to 3 July 2020 inclusive, we are offering your Year 8 child the opportunity to attend an Outdoor Adventure event. The experience will take place at Oaker Wood Outdoor Education Centre, Leominster, Herefordshire. The trip will also involve a camping experience and your child will be staying and sleeping in pods at the on-site camp site – http://www.oakerwoodleisure.co.uk
The camping facilities at Oaker Wood consist of permanent pods that sleep 6-8 pupils that have bunk beds. The camp site offers a shower block of four showers and five, very new, outdoor eco-toilets. There is also a camp fire we would have access to for the evening entertainment.
All food is provided for and cooked on site by the resident chef. However, the pupils will be responsible for cleaning away, washing and drying the pots. This will be part of their team building responsibilities.
The activities available during their stay will be:-
- High Ropes Adventure
- Paintball
- Team Building Challenges
- Rafting
- Quad biking
We are combining physical activity and team building in the hope that relating the two activities will have a positive impact on the pupils’ social interaction.
The cost for three days activities and two night’s accommodation will be £180.00. This will include all activities, on-site instruction and all food and drink.

This is to inform you that we have your exam certificates ready for collection. For leavers the certificates can be collected from the School Reception between now and Friday 31 January 2020 (Not available – December 20 to January 6).
The certificates for current year 12 and 13 students will be given out in assembly. Any that are not issued can then be collected from the office of their Head of Year.
If certificates are being collected on behalf of a candidate, photo- ID and written permission from the candidate will be needed.
Certificates will be kept at the centre for 12 months (from date of issue – November 2019), after this they will either be returned to the awarding body or destroyed. Awarding bodies will charge a fee to re-issue certificates or a certified statement of results.
The cost of a replacement certificate (if lost, damaged or destroyed) is over £45.00, payable to each of the individual awarding bodies, for this reason certificates will not be posted to candidates.
It is very important for you to have your certificates for future reference when applying for college placements and attending job interviews. The statement of results which were issued in August may not be accepted as proof of your exam results.
