What a Day at West Mill Farm!
Despite the rain when we arrived at West Mill Farm for our rewards trip, spirits were high, and the boys were full of energy. Our first activity was Footgolf, and the boys really got into the swing of it—plenty of laughs and healthy competition all around.
After a well-earned lunch break, we moved on to our second activity: Bubble Football. This proved to be the highlight of the day, with everyone bouncing off each other and having an absolute blast. The funniest moment? When a pupil was bumped and ended upside down—an unforgettable sight that had everyone in stitches! You really had to be there to appreciate just how hilarious it was.
All in all, it was a brilliant day full of fun, laughter, and great memories.
A huge thank you too all the staff who came along and helped make the trip so enjoyable. Your support made all the difference!

The Hailey Hall year 9 boys who are taking Art or Photography next year for GCSE alongside three of the current Art GCSE boys visited the Henry Moore Foundation today to explore the artist’s sculptures.
We were met by a guide who showed us around the sculptures which are set in beautiful grounds with an opportunity to look inside Henry Moore’s studios where he made drawings and created models for his ideas.
Pupils and staff had the opportunity to interact with the sculptures, to experience how they felt to the touch and to take part in questioning and answering points as we visited each sculpture.
The boys made the most of viewing the sculptures first hand by making sketches of them or by taking photographs – this work will contribute to their AQA GCSE coursework Unit 1.
The boys thanked the guide, had a rest break and something to eat before getting back into the minibus and returning to school.
