Ski Trip 2025

What a fantastic trip! The children have had the most incredible experience; learning to ski and growing in maturity. We hope they will tell you all about their trip and enjoy looking back through these photographs and videos.

Many thanks to Mr Tony McKee and the Liverpool Primary Ski Association.

We have boarded the plane and ready to go ... we can't wait to see you all!

Saturday's skiers of the day! Great technique shown today by both girls - well done!

Ski School Awards evening - the instructors chose the best behaviour and attitude award, best technique award and fastest skier! Well done to all of our award winners! We are so proud of them all as every child is going home with at least one award.

We really enjoyed our hot chocolate with a view ☕️

Trip to 3000m station (Heaven) what a view! A great end to an amazing trip!

Day 4 - time flies when you are having so much fun! Breakfast then another full day skiing!

Wednesday's skiers of the day! All children have experienced the chairlift today and travelled further up the mountain. Our 2 skiers of the day faced multiple challenges, they did not give up and smiled throughout!

Tonight we put our skis away and did some apres ski ... Mrs Yates' Karaoke! Superstar singers! We also spent some of our pocket money in the tuck shop - it was great fun! And a dance to finish off the night - we are tired now so off to bed to get some rest ready for tomorrow!

Congratulations to our skiers of the day! A wonderful show of sheer determination and perseverance at all levels!

Wow we have had a very busy day today - lots of progress made by all children! We are very proud of all the children for their efforts, perseverance and determination!

Well done to our 2 skiers of the day! Great perseverance and progress made!

Skiing training in Pendle ⛷️

We had a practice at Pendle Dry Ski Slope this week. In just a few hours they mastered putting on their boots and skis, side-stepping up the slope and skiing down safely. It was great to see them gain control over their speed and some basic turns too. They even managed to perform head, shoulders, knees & toes as they skied! Bormio....here they come!
