A residential trip to North Devon has 'done wonders' to build the self-esteem of children at St Julian's School in Wellow.

Children in Year 4 spent a weekend recently at Skern Lodge in Appledore where they completed a range of fun activities including archery, kayaking, climbing, tunnelling and zip lining.

School Headteacher, Ruth Noall, said: "The children were all incredibly brave and resilient and had a go at everything the weekend offered.

The Skern Lodge instructors were brilliant at supporting the children and helped to make the trip so memorable.

Year 4 had a truly amazing time filled with laughter, adventure and teamwork, and returned home with lots of new memories."

Skern Lodge is an outdoor activity and development training centre based in Appledore, North Devon. Established in 1976, Skern Lodge provides education, learning and fun through adventure.

"It's truly a remarkable place to visit, and we're grateful to the instructors and staff at the Lodge for making us feel so welcome," added Ruth
