All three year groups have a three day residential, outdoor
education visit to Patterdale Hall each year. In Year 8 boys have
the opportunity to spend a week sailing on the School's boat,
Tenacity of Bolton, if they wish.
All pupils visit Patterdale Hall for a three day residential
course each year to pursue the practical elements of the outdoor
education curriculum.
