The Lake District
If you were to ask any Verulam student for a highlight of their time at the school, a common response would be the Year 7 Lake District trip. It one of our longest-standing traditions at Verulam, and has run for over forty years.
During the summer term, Year 7 travel to the Lakes accompanied by a team of Verulam staff. We stay right on the lake in Windermere and an action-packed itinerary follows, including orienteering, climbing, ghyll scrambling and kayaking. Many boys will undertake activities that they have never tried before. In the evenings, we find time for a trip to the cinema, pizza night, football and team games. It is a jam-packed, fun-filled schedule and the boys will return exhausted but energised by the new friendships they have made, the challenges they’ve overcome and with memories that will last far beyond their years at Verulam school.
