Year 11 students preparing for their upcoming GCSEs enjoyed a study session with a twist at PGL! Around 75 students travelled to Borreaton Park in Shrewsbury for the two-night revision residential trip from February 17th-19th.
Students were taught in small groups honing their skills in Maths and English, in order prepare for the GCSE examinations this summer. During the weekend, the students also participated in a number of outward-bound activities including; Kayaking, Giant Swing, Rock Climbing & Orienteering.
Highfields teaching staff and students really valued the input from Sixth Form students who supported the residential working with Year 11 students on an individual basis.
Mr Treble, Head of Upper School said, ‘A highlight of the residential was the campfire on the first night where students gathered to star gaze, listen to music and dance the night away!’
Mr Treble continued to say, ‘The residential is a very valuable experience for our students. They all did extremely well to balance hard work and commitment to their studies with exciting activities provided by the PGL staff.’
‘Unfortunately, due to storm Eunice the weather in Shrewsbury wasn’t the best but no storm was going to stop our Year 11 students in their quest for success!’
