Farewell to Orchard Head Junior School ...

Our final school for this year, Orchard Head Juniors will be leaving us tomorrow to go home to Pontefract - the children have had a great time, overcoming their fears and really getting into all the activities - they have loved the abseiling, caving, the tunnels and the leap of faith!

Welcome Captain Cook Primary ......

The children from Captain Cook Primary arrived yesterday and already are into the swing of things - challenging each other on the low ropes course, finding out who is the keenest at archery and which team can build the best shelter - and its only Tuesday - two more days to go!!!!!!

'What a wonderful couple of days'.....children from Ings Farm Primary School say!

We went canoeing, had a go on the low ropes course, rambled the Dale,  went climbing and excelled at archery - not forgetting taking part in night line and our very own 'Marrick Priory's got Talent' show!!!!  A fab time was had by all.

Our recent Autumn lunch

Thanks to the Richmond U3A group who helped raise £370 towards our bursary fund - this is a fantastic amount and very much appreciated!

Our Open Day last Wednesday .....

Thanks to everyone who came to our Open Day last Wednesday - you helped raise nearly £100 for our bursary fund which is fantastic!

What we think of Marrick Priory.......

'A fantastic place'
'The best residential EVER'
'Amazing'

say the children from Barlby Primary School

What a fantastic result........

On Saturday we raised another £323.75 from our spring lunches - this joins the money raised from our lunches served at the beginning of the month (over £1000!) -  all proceeds go towards our bursary fund which helps support young people to visit the Priory from families experiencing financial difficulties.  Our thanks to everyone who helped us raise this amazing amount!

Congratulations are in store!

We raised £1153.80  from our spring lunches which we held on 1st and 2nd June -  This will go towards our bursary fund - thanks to everyone who came and enjoyed the wonderful food and atmosphere  - see you again at Christmas!

Our new archery shelter and outdoor classroom is on its way!

Last week twelve and a half tonne of concrete was poured into 29 holes down on the bank....
our archery shelter and outdoor classroom is becoming a reality!   The steel work will be going up soon so watch this space........
