Days Out at Ickwell

School trips

Sadly Covid has limited the Prep School activities at our beautiful Ickwell this year. However, after waiting patiently, on 11th June we were able to take the Year 5s. The aim being to build and strengthen friendships in the outdoors and to experience a range of team building activities with tutors.

We enjoyed minibeast investigations, den building, toasting marshmallows, team games, archery tag and learnt to use flint and steels to light fires. Who doesn’t love a s’more!
