Jamie’s Farm
Our students had a fantastic stay at Jamie’s Farm! They spent 5 nights in Monmouth, Wales, living and working on a farm.
They started every morning feeding the farmyard animals and caring for the chickens, cows, sheep, pigs and horses. While some students were feeding, others were back at the farmhouse preparing a two course breakfast to fuel them for the day!

Afternoons were spent maintaining the farm, repairing fences, building log stores, grooming the horses and even sheep herding! Every evening they had a night walk that required resilience, teamwork and grit.
The experience certainly put everyone through their paces!
“The staff at Jamie’s farm were impressed on a daily basis with the mindset that our 12 students demonstrated, saying ‘yes’ to every opportunity given to them, even if it meant overcoming a fear. Jamie’s Crew will now embark on a post-residential programme that will ensure they get to continue the great work they started whilst at the farm. Watch this Space!” – Miss Moss, Assistant Principal
