Kilvrough 2025

Google maps has changed the arrival time and it now says 18:40 so please come earlier than previously asked.

When we get back, we’ll unload all the bags before the children get off. Could parents please help take the bags around to the car park. When all the bags are out the way the kids will get off. We’d appreciate it if you don’t park in the car park to leave space for the bags.

Just had our stop at the services. Google maps says we’ll arrive at school at 18:55.

Lovely day at the beach today! We’ve just departed from Kilvrough. We’ll stop at Leigh Delamere for a short break half way through the journey. A clear arrival time will be posted when we know.

The last day at Kilvrough! The children have had breakfast and packed away their things. We are going to Langland beach where the activities will be beach art and games. We should be leaving here at 3:00 pm. There will be updates here on departure and our journey back to Oxford.

Fantastic day today! The bodyboarders were treated to big waves and had an amazing time at the beach. The rock climbers scaled a couple of cliffs and did some scrambling. Pizza was a popular dinner. The kids are about to start practicing their summer dance with Ms Knapp!

Unfortunately with all the rain last night the caves have flooded so the children can’t cave today. On the plus side they’ll get to go rock climbing by the beach. The others are going to the beach for bodyboarding. The suns shining now and it should stay for the rest of the day!

Getting ready to go to the beach!

Rise and shine at the Kilvrough Manor! We’ve had a few more sleepy heads this morning and the kids have gotten up a bit later. Quite windy and rainy last night, but it didn’t seem to affect anyone’s sleep. Breakfast soon and the duty group are already getting everything ready!

We were lucky at the beach where the waves were high and the sun was shining! A lot of happy faces at dinner today. Tonight will be hot chocolate and marshmallows and some free time for sports and exploring the manor grounds!

Amazing day today! Half the children went caving and the other half went to the beach for bodyboarding. At the caves so many children really challenged themselves and showed brilliant leadership by going to the front and showing others the way…

The kids had a fantastic evening last night, they had some free time outside and making dens. Everyone slept really well - they were tired after their waterfall walk! The activity groups will be either caving or bodyboarding today. Excited for some sunshine and some good waves!

What a day! All of the children have been on a great waterfall expedition. 4 miles on twisting paths with fantastic views and a few moans! We got the chance to walk behind a waterfall in full force and got soaked. All heading back to the manor for showers now.

later on today and get back on track with as many planned activities as possible from tomorrow morning. Photos to follow as mobile reception allows!

The weather and in particular the rainfall has meant that we are having to change the pan for today. All groups are going up into the Brecon Beacons area with their instructors to explore waterfalls, scramble and explore the area. We will review the activity programme….

The bad weather has blown through here and all campers were brilliant No one is wet and they all slept well despite the rain and wind. Those indoors had a mixed night. Most slept well but a couple of rooms awake late and up early.

It’s lights out even though it’s light out at Kilvrough. All had a good day and ate well followed by orienteering this evening. We played our annual game of hide and seek with the adults hiding. Mr Howe, Ms Spence, Mr Isaac and Miss Brown all stayed hidden and were not found!

The coaches have arrived safely in Kilvrough. The sun is shining! The children will get settled in and then onto activities this afternoon.

The final coach is just turning into Margaret road.

We are 12 minutes away! The children are all very excited.
