Pupils were given the chance to conquer new challenges and have fun with their friends during an unforgettable school trip.

The Year 9 Alsop High School students spent the weekend near Coniston, visiting the Lakeland Adventure Centre, where they took part in a wide range of outdoor activities designed to develop teamwork, resilience, and vital life skills.

From climbing and walking to boating across the spectacular waters, every experience encouraged pupils to push themselves and support one another.

Despite wintry conditions, including trekking through snow, students embraced every challenge, leaving their teachers very proud of their achievements.

Evenings were filled with fun, from stargazing to lively games of hide and seek, and even friendly card tournaments, giving students the chance to relax and bond after their busy days of adventure.

Experiences like these build confidence, resilience, and friendships that extend far beyond the classroom. Students gain a wide range of valuable skills, including teamwork, communication, and problem‑solving, as they work together to complete outdoor challenges and step outside their normal comfort zones.
