As well as being Head of Religion and Philosophy, Zak leads our digital vision. He was instrumental in developing our excellent online learning offering during lockdown, much to the relief of our parents, and is now leading the roll out of our school device programme.
On the last Sunday of November, when the first wintery blasts arrived, thirty three Year 10 pupils and four members of staff headed to Burrington Combe to begin Ten Tors training.
After eight weeks of classroom training, the boys were ready to stretch their legs and test their stamina on the hills. With temperatures forecasted at 0 degrees Celsius, the conditions were perfect! The route took us onto Beacon Batch and then down into Cheddar via Black Down. We then climbed back out of Cheddar on the opposite side of the gorge and over the top to return to Burrington. It was a decent ten mile walk and all the boys seemed to enjoy themselves.
Next stop is Pen Y Fan on Sunday 9 January for Year 10 before training ramps up with the prospective 45 milers joining us when we head to Exmoor at the end of January.
