Year 7 Camp

The Year 7 Form groups enjoyed a week of fun water-based activities on their camp. It was wonderful that the girls were able to return to Crawford and spend time forming relationships with their Form, Form teachers and Heads of House. Thank you to the staff for making the camp so successful and to Miss Rosie Smith and the Outdoor Education team for leading such a valuable experience.
