YEAR seven students from Court Fields School, Wellington, were taken on a residential trip to the Ultimate Adventure Centre in Bideford recently.

Staying in North Devon for three days and two nights, students took part in a programme of outdoor activities designed to build confidence, teamwork, and resilience.

The camp featured a wide range of experiences, including surfing, coasteering, high ropes, obstacle courses, and team-building challenges.

The camp is a cornerstone of Court Fields School’s commitment to helping students achieve, belong, and participate.

Headteacher Mrs Polly Matthews said: “We want every child to feel part of our community from day one.

“The Year 7 camp is a fantastic way to build friendships and foster independence.”

Students would take part in a wide variety of activities during their stay, including canoeing.
