Our amazing Year 6 students had a fantastic week in Malham on the final residential trip of their primary school journey.

They travelled the 74 miles by minibus, staying at the Hill Top Bunk Barn for five fun packed days, under the careful supervision of Mr Jones, Mr Birch and Mrs Hardman. We can’t forget Jonathan from Rough Edges who always leads the week of activities with his trusty side kick, Molly the dog.

Adventures included climbing Gordale Scar on the first day, abseiling and weaselling, canoeing on Lake Windemere and indoor rock climbing.

No Misson School residential would be complete without home cooked food to fuel all the children as they pushed themselves out of their comfort zones. A barbeque and ‘Make Your Own Pizza’ evening just finished off the week in style.

Every child pushed themselves to the limits during the week and each and everyone of them should be so proud of themselves. We would just like to wish all our year 6 children who are moving on from Misson the very best of luck with their future.

You have your wings Year 6 …….now go and fly.

THE HAYFIELD SCHOOL YEAR 11 PROM. The Mount Pleasant Hotel was host again for The Hayfield School year 11 prom which celebrates the end of secondary school life for 15/16 year old students who have just finished their GCSE’s. Everyone looked incredible, the girls in their beautiful dresses and the boys in their smart suits. It was great fun watching the range of transport escorting the students which varied from farm tractors, classic cars, sports cars and wait for it … an ambulance! Luckily the students were not in need of a hospital but certainly had the most dramatic drop off. Best wishes to all the year 11 students in their next chapter.
