Year 9 spent a week at @OutwardBoundUK Howtown, Lake District to step out of the classroom and into new challenges. The snowy bay formed the perfect backdrop for students to embark on a great adventure as a team, build confidence and resilience and form some life long memories.

With opening night around the corner, the cast and crew have been working hard to bring this vibrant show to life; it’s been wonderful to see our students build their creativity and confidence throughout. So get ready to bop to the top! Get Tickets➡️ ticketsource.co.uk/ha
