Linnet Crate Stacking Challenge

Over the last two weeks, students have put their courage, teamwork and determination to the test during exciting Outdoor Education visits to Linnet Clough Scout Campsite. As towering stacks of crates grew higher and wobblier, students worked together to support climbers, solve problems and conquer their fears. There were plenty of cheers, laughs and dramatic crate collapses along the way, but one group reached an incredible 23 crates, setting a new record! Read on to discover who made it to the top, why Henry felt he was “above the clouds”, and how every student achieved something to be proud of.

Flint Castle

Over the past two weeks, students have stepped back in time during exciting Outdoor Education visits to Flint Castle. From exploring the ancient ruins and uncovering the castle's fascinating history to standing at the top of the tower and taking in spectacular views across the River Dee, the trips were packed with learning, adventure and plenty of memorable moments. Students also discovered local stories of bravery through the WWI memorial and RNLI statue, while one unexpected topic sparked lots of laughter: medieval castle toilets! Read on to find out what students learned, what amazed them most, and why these visits will be remembered for a long time to come.
