Outdoor Education


KS4 Bouldering


The KS4 boys have all had the opportunity to complete the NIBAS level 1 award as part of their PE curriculum. Each Wednesday we have been travelling offsite to Bouldershack ( a climbing facility in Southampton)  and learning  a number of different skills and techniques. Bouldering is extremely good for all aspects of fitness and is very physically demanding. All the boys demonstrated good levels of resilience during the course. The hard work has paid off and I am pleased to report 7 of our Students achieved the Level 1 award!
