Year 6 Residential Visit to High Borrans – May 2026
Dear parents / carers
As you know, Year 6 will have the opportunity to take part in a residential visit to High Borrans this May! We very much hope that all children who want to will take up this amazing opportunity.
High Borrans is an Outdoor Education Centre near Windermere in the Lake District. It is a self-contained centre, in its own grounds, which belongs to North Tyneside Council. The children will get the chance to visit some different parts of the Lake District and try out some expert-led activities, such as canoeing and Ghyll scrambling. They will develop independence, resilience and cooperative skills. To find out more about High Borrans and what they offer, click this link.

- 6IB – Monday 18th May to Wednesday 20th May
