The Hollowford Residential 2022

9th Oct 2022

Last week, the Y6 children visited ‘The Hollowford Centre’ in Castleton for our residential visit. Here's a word from one of our Y6 children on our fantastic trip… 

Last week we went on our residential to the Hollowford Centre. It was so much fun! We were there for two nights, arriving on Wednesday morning and returning back to school on Friday. Every day was packed full of exciting activities. We took part in archery and orienteering, canoeing, hill walking (where we walked up Mam Tor), abseiling and caving. It was a fantastic way to start the year and we all had a brilliant time!

As has been reported previously, our Y6 children received so many compliments and positive comments from the team and other users at the Hollowford Centre, for their manners and behaviour, teamwork and attitudes.

I would like to thank each of them, along with Mr MacInnes for all his hard work in organising and coordinating this very special visit. I would also like to thank Mrs Raynes, Mrs Steenson and Mr Smith who supported the children so well. Even though the weather was mixed at points, everyone had an absolutely fantastic time!
