Norfolk Lakes Activity Centre

Posted: 22nd May 2026

Our Year 6 boys enjoyed an action-packed and memorable residential trip to Norfolk Lakes Activity Centre, where they embraced a wide range of adventurous outdoor activities and challenges.

Throughout the trip, the boys demonstrated excellent teamwork, resilience and determination as they took part in archery, high ropes, fencing, kayaking, axe throwing and climbing activities. Each challenge encouraged the boys to step outside of their comfort zones, build confidence and support one another along the way.

Whether balancing high above the ground on the ropes course, paddling together on the lakes or testing their focus and precision in archery and axe throwing, the boys approached every activity with enthusiasm and positivity. It was wonderful to see friendships strengthened and confidence grow throughout the residential experience.

Residential trips such as this are an important part of life at Buckingham Prep , helping pupils to develop independence, leadership skills and resilience beyond the classroom environment.

We were incredibly proud of the boys for the maturity, encouragement and excellent behaviour they displayed throughout the trip. The Year 6 residential created many unforgettable memories and was a fantastic way to celebrate the boys’ final year at the school.
