Autumn Field Day adventures

This Autumn Term’s school excursions offered a wide array of hands-on learning and adventure opportunities tailored to each year group. Here’s a look at the activities that took place:

• Lower Sixth SCS: The School and Community Service programme included various projects. Students took part in upcycling at the Spires Shopping Centre in Chipping Barnet and volunteered at a foodbank in Borehamwood’s Old Library. They also worked in on-site allotments, visited care homes and spent time at the Old Haberdashers Sports Ground in Borehamwood.
• Years 10 to Upper Sixth Navy: The Navy cadets visited multiple locations including Queen Mary Sailing Club in Ashford, the Andrew Simpson Sailing Centre in Berkshire and Willen Lake in Milton Keynes for a series of aquatic skills-building days.
• Year 10 Army: This group explored military history with a trip to the Imperial War Museum in London.
• Lower Sixth and Upper Sixth Army Cadets: Older cadets participated in an overnight training session at Bramley Training Area in Hampshire, fostering endurance and leadership through hands-on field training.
• Lower Sixth and Upper Sixth: A gliding trip to Hinton-in-the-Hedges Airfield in Banbury gave older students a unique experience in aviation.

These Field Day trips enriched students’ leadership and practical skills, promoting teamwork and providing real-world learning in dynamic yet enriching environments.
