Mr South's Blog: Year 6 Residential
Our Year 6 boys are very excited ahead their residential trip next week.
The trip has always formed an important part of the boys final term at Elmhurst. For many of them it may well be the first time away from home and what better way to spend it? With your school friends and staff that you know it almost marks a “rite of passage” in their final term of primary education.
So we hope that the boys and staff all have a great time and that the sun shines!!
Mr South, Headmaster
