Glenesk is not just a school; it’s a home away from home, where your child will feel valued, and excited to learn. Our small class sizes help to ensure that every child’s individuality in all areas is recognised, nurtured and celebrated.

Year 1 Visit to Portchester Castle 🏰

Year 1 had a brilliant day exploring this 900 year-old Norman castle in the sunshine.

The children took part in a workshop where they acted out Kings, Queens, Guards and Servants, bringing our classroom learning to life and discovering how castles were attacked.

We climbed the steep spiral staircase (153 steps!) to the top of the Keep and we’re rewarded with amazing views.

We explored the 2000 year-old outer wall down towards the sea, visited St Mary’s Church in the outer bailey, learned how castle kitchens worked without electricity, and even found a well.

A fantastic hands-on history day! 🏰
