On Wednesday, 18th September, Fourth Form enjoyed their House retreat day.
Each House embarked on a unique journey: Barlow visited the peaceful village of Lamyatt, Caverel explored the beautiful Stourhead National Trust estate, Isbella discovered the historic National Trust Lytes Cary Manor near Yeovil, Roberts visited the stunning City of Wells, and Smythe spent their day in the quiet village of Witham Friary, near Frome.
Each retreat was guided by the pupil’s tutors, with support from members of the Chaplaincy team and guest speakers Alex and Owain, both OGs, who generously gave their time to share insights with the pupils that they were with. Throughout the day, the pupils deepened their understanding of their House Patrons and the Benedictine values that inspire them, fostering personal reflection and community spirit.
The hope is that these values will now come to life within the school community, as the pupils strive to put them into practice in their everyday interactions.
