off up north

I’m flying up to Newcastle tomorrow for four days with eight of our students (from Norton Hill and Fosseway Schools) to compete in the Challenge Plate Finals of the Kielder Challenge at the Kielder Forest in Northumberland – a national outdoor adventure competition for teams of 13 to 16 year old young people. We’re competing in the category of teams which includes four pupils with physical, sensory or learning disabilities. It won’t be about winning or losing; it will be about the experience of taking part in this wonderful competition.
