Year 6 Residential 2026
Earlier this week, Year 6 took on an unforgettable residential at Raywell Skidby, where teamwork and adventure shaped every moment. From scaling wall climbs and exploring the Cavebus to woodland walks, den building, and outdoor games, the children embraced every challenge with enthusiasm. Evenings around the campfire, balancing activities, dancing, and tackling the assault course brought plenty of laughter and memories made in the countryside.
A brilliant experience from start to finish, filled with confidence, friendship, and achievement in the great outdoors.
