Retreats

Soli House

Every year, we strive to take a small group of Year 9 pupils on a residential retreat to Soli House. Soli House is part of the Kenelm Youth Trust (run by the Archdiocese of Birmingham, in partnership with Birmingham Catholic Youth services). The centre is in Staffordshire, next to it’s sister centre, Alton Castle.

During their stay, students take part in a variety of teambuilding activities. These may include cycling, trekking, archery and low-ropes. As well as this, a big focus of the visit is on personal and spiritual development. Pupils participate in a variety of workshops and they also have the opportunity to celebrate Mass together. At the end of the retreat, students should return refreshed in faith and blessed with fun, new friendships.
