Pupils from Exwick Heights Primary School  have returned home beaming after an unforgettable residential at Grenville House in Brixham, packed with adventure, laughter, learning and a fair amount of hot chocolate.

Over the course of the action-filled trip, children challenged themselves physically and mentally, tackling activities such as kayaking, climbing and rafting. Whether it was navigating the marina, crabbing, or building rafts for a race, teamwork and resilience were on full display.

Children also explored Brixham’s museum, went souvenir shopping with their £5 budgets, and took in stunning coastal views during an evening beach walk, where they even spotted a seal swimming among the jetty pillars. Evenings were spent enjoying story time, and the company of friends before winding down for the night.

The school, which is part of Ted Wragg Trust, would like to extend thanks to the brilliant team at Grenville House, parent volunteers, and the supportive school community who made the trip possible.

Mrs Gemma Wills, Headteacher at Exwick Heights Primary School said:

 "This residential has been such a rewarding experience for our pupils, from facing new challenges to working together as a team, they’ve all shown real determination and spirit. We are so proud of every single one of them."

Moira Marder, CEO of the Ted Wragg Trust said:

 "Opportunities like these are where children grow in confidence, character, and community. The team at Exwick Heights has done a brilliant job, and it's clear the pupils have made memories that will last a lifetime."
