Enjoy a flavour of this month's boarding activities

Students enjoyed picking apples in nearby Newby Hall's fantastic orchard and made the most of their bumper harvest when they got back to school, where they created lots of delicious apple-based treats with Mrs Sala. Scroll down for a flavour of what else they've been up to this month

Our boarding students are a talented lot, from creating their own Christmas designs to be printed onto mug, gift wraps, cards and notebooks (with the help of Steph Crookston of the Imagination Centre), to making stunning garden lanterns - their creativity knows no bounds!

Boarding students enjoy evening activities in the gym, learning to step out of their comfort zones and take on a challenge - with lots of fun and laughter too
