Paint-balling in Dalby forest
On Saturday 12, a very cold October morning, the other boarders and I set off to Dalby Forest with Mrs Thomas and Mr Robinson, for an action packed day of paint-balling. All the boarders and I really enjoyed the paint-balling that took place last year and we were all very excited to get to go […]
Welcome Back
As all the boarders have returned after the half term holidays and we are into the final 5 weeks, which are going to flyby. We have many boarders trips left this term from the Stream train to Flamingo land, to Sports on the beach and of course the end of year BBQ. So watch this […]
Castle Howard
Castle Howard is one of the greatest castles I have seen, the green grass, all around it, its majestic features, the history behind it, the misfortunes around it, is just magnificent. As boarders we took a trip to Castle Howard, and we were shown England’s capability of building, such a classy, and historical castle, that […]

The high expectations all of us had were totally forgotten about after we were allowed to try all the sweets. […]

Day 3 of the Rome Trip… the saga continues
Day Three. Tuesday 19th February. Ostia Antica was amazing! We had wonderfully sunny weather that day which made it even more enjoyable. It is an ancient town which has been well-preserved a la Pompeii. Students and teachers roamed the space marvelling at the sights and scale of the place. The partly restored amphitheatre was fabulous […]
Day 2 of the Rome Trip… The Colosseum
Day Two. Monday 18th February We all staggered out of bed at 6.30 am (!) for breakfast at 7 am and a fast route march to the Colosseum for our guided tour at 8.30 am. It was a very busy day in which we heard all about the grisly history of the Colosseum and visited […]
