Ambleside residential 2024-25

Year 7 Ambleside Residential

Every year we hold a residential experience for the whole of Year 7. This runs towards the end of June and involves a three-night stay at Ambleside in the Lake District. The dates are as follows:

  Y7.1 – Y7.4      Tuesday 17th  June – Friday 20th  June

  Y7.5 – Y7.9      Tuesday 24th  June – Friday 27th  June

Memories that will last a lifetime.

We are committed to creating exciting opportunities…

It is an exciting and action-packed trip for students with a variety of outdoor activities. More information will follow nearer the time and there is also a parents’ evening shortly before we leave.

This is a fantastic experience for our Year 7 students and we want every one of them to take part. The overall cost is £350, which includes all travel, full board accommodation, activities and insurance. We have done everything possible to try and keep costs to a minimum.

At this point, could I ask you to let us know if you do not wish your child to go on the Ambleside Trip by emailing ambleside@brooksbank.tlt.school.
