Aims of the Y7 Explore Residential Our aim is to ensure that our Year 7 students get off to a flying start both socially and academically. A residential at the start of Year 7 will help to develop the identity and cohesion of the cohort. Teachers and students will get to know each other and positive peer relationships will be developed. Through the Explore Residential we aim to promote: Teamwork, initiative, social awareness, leadership and personal development. Physical skills, self-confidence and a spirit of adventure.
