Bouldering, ridge walking and trail running were just some of the fun-filled activities endured by King’s Ely students at a recent expedition.
Pupils travelled to the Lake District to take on a 10-day exploration as part of the Ely Scheme, which offers opportunities for students to explore and learn through outdoor education.
Students also tackled other activities including multi-pitch mountain climbing, stand-up paddle boarding and plunge pool swimming during the experience.
The scheme's aim is to develop each student through outdoor and adventurous activity, focusing on eight key elements: personal skills; self-confidence; teamwork; leadership skills; social and environmental awareness; problem solving; ability to cope with difficult situations and healthy respect for nature and the outdoors.
As well as this, students took to the swimming pool to raise £1,100 for Cancer Research UK, one of the school's charities for this year, at the Dover to Calais Cross Channel Charity Swim.
