“During the summer term we took our Year 10 students to climb to the top of Mount Snowdon. Many of the children we work with have never left Bristol, so to experience climbing Mount Snowdon with them was an honour and a privilege. The children were exceptional and achieved something that many adults have never done (climbing a mountain).
“Snowdon Village isn’t all about gaining academic results. It is important to me that we provide our children with life changing opportunities such as climbing mountains or giving children the stage to sing and perform at our annual conference.
“It is these experiences that will stay in the minds of our children long after they leave us and inspire them to believe that they can do anything and that anything is possible.”
