Battersea Park School goes Outward Bound! PDF Print E-mail
At BPS our students are very fortunate to be sponsored by Deutsche Bank to attend Outward Bound courses at Aberdovey in the North of Wales and at Lake Ullswater in the Lake District. 

Every year group in our school get the opportunity to go on a 5-day trip to experience education in the outdoors!

During these trips, our students get the chance to take part in activities they would never otherwise get to do like abseiling, rock climbing, canoeing. They even get to go on an overnight expedition where they have to complete a 6 mile hike to the top of one of the mountains in the area, put up their tents and prepare their own food!

Our students also get the opportunity to get to know other people in their year group and often return from an Outward Bound trip with newly made friendships.  Our students learn about leadership skills and how to work together as part of a team on these trips.

It is a great privilege for our students to be able to go on these Outward Bound trips and we can’t wait for the next trip to take place!
