Scaling New Heights: GCSE PE Climbing Trip!

Our GCSE PE students recently took on an exciting residential climbing trip to the Peak District!

This weekend adventure allowed students to experience some of Britain’s finest Gritstone Rock, giving them a fantastic opportunity to be assessed in a different, challenging practical activity for their GCSE course.

When: Friday morning to Sunday evening (Sept 26-28).

Where: The Peak District, climbing on Gritstone Rock.

Instructors: Instruction was provided by the excellent local company, TrekCo.

It was a busy but brilliant weekend for the students (and their mascot, Robert the Bear!). We would like to specially commend the students on their excellent behaviour—TrekCo noted they haven't had such a well-behaved group in a long time. Well done to all!
