Year Six: Nell Bank Residential

Year Six children had an amazing time on residential at Nell Bank. They spent three days enjoying lots of outdoor activities and even completed a long 6-mile walk to Ilkley Moor! The fish and chips were well deserved at the end of that day. We are all so proud of how well-behaved children were throughout the trip and how they demonstrated our Core Values perfectly.
