Gresham’s Offer Transitional Residential Trip for Great Yarmouth-based Inspiration Trust Students

Gresham’s School has recently gave Inspiration Trust pupils living in Great Yarmouth the opportunity to spend a three-night transitional residential trip in the Woodland Activity Centre on their school grounds. The aim of the trip was to bring pupils from Inspiration Trust’s Great Yarmouth primary schools together ahead of them transitioning up to Great Yarmouth Charter Academy – the Trust’s Great Yarmouth-based secondary school. 

Gresham’s School organised the trip for Pupil Premium students from Cobholm Primary Academy and Great Yarmouth Primary Academy in order to connect them with nature and to enjoy wholesome fun and outdoor challenges. Pupils from Year 6, 7 and 8 took part in a tailored away-from-home experience on the idyllic North Norfolk coast. 

Pupils experienced a wide range of woodland activities, including a high ropes course, climbing the second highest freestanding climbing wall in Europe, learning survival skills and participating in campfire cooking workshops with home-made pizza. The fun did not stop there though - pupils had the opportunity to visit Holkham Hall Estate, enjoy swimming sessions in the indoor heated pool and even experienced a heritage steam train excursion to Sheringham beach, complete with a traditional fish and chips dinner. 

We would like to thank Gresham’s School for offering up their grounds and facilities to us, our pupils had a wonderful time and it was just what they needed before setting off on their next school adventure.
