Over the last few years we have had several successful Tardebigge Treks, taking the whole school out for a walk in different areas of the countryside around the school site. Our Tardebigge Trek this year was a circular route taking in the local lanes and the canal. We see this as an excellent opportunity for children to develop some of our School Christian Values, in particular: their perseverance, humility, wisdom, joy, compassion for others, and respect of our local environment. We also believe it is important for our children, most of whom do not live in the immediate vicinity of our school, to see and learn about our local surroundings. For many children, this route will give them a good chance to develop their understanding of road safety and being safe next to canals. Finally, we believe a whole school event like this is a great way to share experiences of awe and wonder as a community: the Tardebigge Family altogether.
