In the Summer term, Years 5 and 6 have the opportunity to take
part in an extra-curricular trip to Patterdale Hall, our own
outdoor pursuits centre in the Lake District. The centre, which is
located in idyllic surroundings at the southern end of Lake
Ullswater, provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It sleeps up
to sixty guests in dormitory style bedrooms and facilities include
a games room, television and videos.
Fully qualified instructors help the pupils to enjoy themselves
and get the most out of their time there. They supervise all the
activities which include gorge walking, climbing, abseiling,
canoeing and sailing. These experiences offer the girls a unique
opportunity to work as part of a team, build self confidence,
develop life skills and, of course, have fun!
The Advanced Activities Licensing Authority maintains checks on
all the instructors to ensure they are up to date with the latest
requirements.
"One of my favourite places is Patterdale. It's an
adventure!"
