Three days, two nights and a whole lot of adventure in the Peak District! Every summer our Year 6 children head to Castleton for their residential, and it is always one of the highlights of their time at Sparken Hill.

Last July our leavers explored caves, climbed rocks, built dens and walked the hills, and they came home taller in confidence than when they left. Now it is your turn, Year 6. We would love every one of you to come with us.

Why residentials matter

Where we stay

Losehill Hall is a Victorian gothic mansion, built in 1882, set in 27 acres of parkland in the heart of the Peak District National Park. The fields are grazed by sheep from a nearby farm, so you might meet some up close! Children sleep in bunk rooms of up to six, with boys and girls in separate rooms. Every room has its own en-suite and all bedding is provided. There are common rooms and games areas for the evenings too.

What will we do? Lots!

There will also be rocks and minerals to study (including the rare Blue John stone), team challenges, and evening games and quiz nights back at the hall.

Safe, supported and for everyone

Your child will be with Sparken Hill staff they know, with a staff-to-pupil ratio of 1:10 or better, 24-hour supervision and first aid trained staff at all times. All meals are provided and every dietary need and allergy is catered for. For information about the cost, please see your child's class teacher.

Any questions? Email Y56@sparkenhill.com, call the office on 01909 534060, or just ask your child's teacher.
