Whitemoor Lakes Trip
The annual Year 7 trip to Whitemoor Lakes Activity Centre near Alrewas took place from 13th-16th May 2019. 85 students accompanied by 9 staff enjoyed fantastic weather over the three days and were well looked after by the Centre staff. Some student reminiscences are as follows:

“I loved the activities…my favourite was the fencing because it was a new experiences. The staff made the stay enjoyable because they helped you conquer fears.” (Hayden)
“I didn’t think I could do the leap of faith in high ropes, or the abseiling, but I completed both…the food and how we were treated were both very good.” (Abdullah)
“My experiences at Whitemoor Lakes were amazing…my favourite activity was the zip-wire because I conquered my fear of heights.” (Kirat)
“The most challenging activity was the climbing; although it was safe I felt scared but I tried my best and overcame my fear.” (Ibrahim)

“I pushed myself and completed all of the challenges”. (Ash)

“The staff there tried their best to make our stay fun”. (Temi)
“I tried some new activities such as fencing, abseiling, zip-wiring, canoeing and raft-building. It was an amazing experience that I will never forget”. (Basel)
