Senior School News

It's impossible to miss the excitement in the air at Sedbergh! A level exams have finished - Further Maths, the final subject exam took place earlier today - and with that our Upper Sixth pupils have finished their academic year. We are incredibly proud of their resilience, ambition and dedication. 

Challenge Week begins next week and it includes one of our most ambitious challenges yet; we are guiding 115 Year 12 pupils on the 3 Peaks Challenge. Our intrepid pupils will hike up the tallest peaks in Scotland, Wales and England. "I think the most challenging aspect of the 3 peaks for me is going to be the physical endurance aspect of it all. I just need to remember it is mind over matter!" TJ, Year 12 pupil. 

It's been a term of incredible achievements for our pupils and in this newsletter we've highlighted the accomplishment of the boys who raised over £5500 for the Oddballs Foundation. Their justifiably proud parents talked to us about their achievement and the boys explained their motivation. You can read the article here. 

Chapel Goes Wild

"The idea for a Wild Chapel first developed during the pandemic as a possible way for the School to worship and sing together amid the frequently changing restrictions – feels like a long time ago now!  More recently we returned to the idea and the desire to have the whole School gathered on Winder with the fields and fells around us was very appealing.  It captured much of what we treasure about the School and landscape."

Developing talent that one day could win their country a World Cup was the brief for a major part of Rusty and Fletch’s careers. The group of players currently involved in and around the England squad now all speak very highly of the influence the Magic Academy boys had on their career developments.

Week 1 is booked out. Spaces in Weeks 2 and 3 are limited. 

SED Talks

Our new SED Talks describe and celebrate the dreams and pathways of our most talented pupils. Covering a range of careers from aspiring doctors to engineers, singers and cyber security analysts, our pupils explain what motivated their choice and what they're doing to fulfil their ambitions. Every pupil's dream is different and this page will continue to grow.

The Quad

Ever wondered what it would be like to complete a triathlon? Well this is even tougher! A quadrathlon! Involving a swim, run, kayak and cycle, the Great Kindrochit Quadrathlon (The Quad) is an exhilarating test of stamina, strength and fitness through some of the most spectacular and historic areas of the Scottish Highlands. The event is completed in pairs and Sedbergh have 9 staff teams entered. 

The Sedbergh teams are competing to continue our quest to raise money for Siobhan's Trust - our partners working to support displaced people in the Ukraine. They'd be grateful for any support of whatever amount you can spare.
