Year 8 Elev:8 Residential at PGL Liddington

Our Year 8 students have recently enjoyed a wonderful experience at the Elev:8 Residential in PGL Liddington. Spanning 150 acres of lakes, woodland and open space, the centre provided the perfect backdrop for students to reset, reflect and reconnect with one another in the beauty of the natural world.

Throughout the week, students took part in a range of structured team-building, problem-solving, and outdoor activities designed to foster resilience, confidence and mutual support. Alongside the physical challenges, there were also opportunities for prayerful reflection and spiritual renewal, helping students to live out our school motto Orare, Laborare, Servire in practice.

The residential is more than just a school trip: it marks an important stage in our students’ journey together — a personal milestone and a shared rite of passage. In the words of John’s Gospel, it is a way of experiencing Christ’s promise: “I have come so that you may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10).
