Chester le Street Juniors have just been here!

Here's what they said about  us.......

Great Range of Activities
Wonderful Staff
Good Christian Ethos

Thank you

'Wow - what a stay' says Middleham Primary School

It was a wonderful opportunity for our children to experience being away from home in an unfamiliar environment, trying out activities and challenging themselves to do things they had not had the chance to do before. As teachers we particularly enjoyed seeing the small triumps for each child as they mastered something they thought they might not be able to accomplish.  The spiritual element of being in an ancient monument added a subtle dimension to the experience which we also appreciated.
Thanks and see you again on a future visit with our Y3/4 children

 Thanks

for giving me the courage to overcome my fears

To all the cooks, your food is amazing
Food was 10 out of 10!

The night line made me see how really hard it would be to be blind every day

I now know how to make my own bed

You taught me to:

Help people with things

How to work in a team

Always try my hardest

Thank you for a fun filled week at Marrick

Coatham Primary School says......

Three things I like best about Marrick...

The food - delicious and wholesome, it's great that everyone sits down together, a very special time of the day
The ambience - the Priory gives the children freedom, a challenge, opportunities to try something new
The setting - its such a beautiful location - so peaceful

Hookstone Chase are with us this week

"Its archery"
"No its abseiling"
"No its climbing"
"No its canoeing"

That's what the children have enjoyed this week at Marrick Priory.
School is back for their second time now - and have already booked for 2013!

Here's what Scotton Lingerfield Primary School think about us...

Our visit to your centre has been an excellent experience for the pupils from our school. The instruction and care shown by your staff has been excellent resulting in our children leaving this centre with memories that will last a lifetime.

What fabulous feedback - thank you!

What we like about Marrick....

From the adults who came with Spacious Places to Marrick Priory 'the visit has been lifechanging - the Marrick Experience is so important to us because God is there in a very real way'. 

What does Rothwell C E Primary School say….

- Marrick was great fun

- Marrick taught me that you have more fun if you try something instead of turning your nose up at it!

- Your enthusiasm into our activities was what made them so much fun

THANK YOU!

Here’s what Brompton on Swale and Bolton on Swale Primary Schools say….

What we like best about our residential at the Priory?

Pupils: canoeing, rock climbing and abseiling and the food of course!

Teachers: the fact that the children have to make their own lunches – this makes them more independent as they have to take the responsibility on deciding what to eat; your flexibility over slight changes to the programme and the accomodation space

The Air Cadets visited us too!

During the summer, twenty three air cadets from 59 (Huddersfield) Squadron spent five days with us canoeing, raft building, caving and climbing – a good time was had by all!

Thank you from Highfield Primary School, Moortown

Just received lots of thank you letters from children from Highfield Primary School in Moortown Leeds – here is what they said about their visit…

‘The activities were brilliant’ said Rowan
‘I enjoyed the walk especially when Andy (one of the instructors) was doing animal noises’ said Chandni
‘Thank you for a brilliant experience’ said Tanui
Lots of satisfied young people!

The activities we like best!

‘The leap of faith definitely – it was awesome! I liked the canoeing too. Rock climbing particularly when Andy our instructor started singing and the rain came down – It stopped raining when he stopped singing!!!!!’ so say Year 6 children from Branton St Wilfreds Primary School in Doncaster about their visit this week

Welcome back Highfield Primary!

Highfield Primary from Leeds are regular visitors to the Priory. As the group leader says “Reasons we come – we love the location, the great activities you offer from the high ropes course, canoeing to abseiling, and the fact our children get the experience of living together in a community – wouldn’t go anywhere else!”

Hunslet Initiative enjoy their weekend!

This weekend, a group of young people from Leeds came to the Priory for the very first time! Having heard about us from someone who had been before, they wanted to see what it was all about for themselves. Taking part in lots of activities such as climbing, the low ropes, archery, the zip wire and the high ropes course, and with comments such as  ”liked the archery best”, “the climbing was awesome”, “the ropes course was brill” – you can see they had a great time. “We hope to be back soon” was their parting shout!

High Ropes Officially Opened
