Activities Week: 16 - 20 July 2018 In order to assist with the planning of the final week of the summer term, we need to assess interest for different activities. We are aware that about half the year group are already booked to go on school trips to Paris and Spain. The rest of you should consider the following options, and choose what you wish to do on the Monday to Thursday - Friday is already taken care of. Some events are for two days, some four, and some are flexible, so you can “mix and match”. Please approach the named member of staff for extra information and to register your interest.

There will also be some time to explore independently. Approx. £75 for the 4 days.

Conservation We hope to arrange some work with the National Park. This is in the early stage of planning, but would involve learning some conservation skills and doing some environmental work at a local National Trust property. If you enjoy doing something practical and being in the outdoors, then this could be for you. It will also provide something useful that you could add to your CV, and maybe even open up something you could continue to be involved in for the future - I know at least one person who has turned this form of volunteering into a career.
