Pupils enjoyed a trip of a lifetime with exhilarating activities in Wales in May.

Year 6 students from Mere School spent a week at Plas Pencelli engaging in outdoor activities, embarking on an unforgettable adventure. 

Visiting the outdoor education centre nestled on the edge of the Brecon Beacons in South Wales in May, students not only had the opportunity to enjoy themselves but also to benefit from educational experiences.  

Jarad Boughen, a Year 6 student from Mere School’s Purple Class, said: "The activities offered here left us thrilled and full of knowledge. It was an incredible week – one I would not have wanted to miss."

The five-day trip was packed with diverse activities, including walking, caving, climbing, and more. Each day began early with a hearty three-course breakfast, ensuring the students were energised for their packed schedules.

The final day was the highlight of the trip, featuring an exhilarating Gorge Walk where students slid under a waterfall and immersed themselves in a pool of crystal-clear water. 

Through activities that promote personal development, relationship building, social skills, and a deep appreciation of the natural environment, the students left Plas Pencelli with more than just memories—they left with valuable life skills and a newfound respect for the outdoor.
