Freshers' Week
All Sixth Form students come to Culford just before term officially begins in September to spend some time getting to know each other socially and through a day's adventure training which ends with a barbecue. Typically Culford's Lower Sixth will be joined by up to 30 new students in September; so if you are new to Culford, you will definitely not be the only one!
Before attending a single lesson, we take all the new Sixth Formers off to the Peak District for three days of fun and team building during Freshers’ Week. You will build rafts, traverse gorges, navigate underground caves, and help each other abseil down cliffs. All of this ensures that by the end of week one everyone has bonded as a year group, as well as begun a development journey as you start to test your leadership and teamwork skills. Even if you have never done this before, we can assure you that you will have a great time, learn new skills and, as importantly, make new friends too.
At Culford School we believe that education should be challenging, enriching and fun, and this is especially true in our Sixth Form. Pupils will leave the Sixth Form looking back with fond memories and life-long friends, but looking forward with excitement and readiness.
