Earl Sterndale hosted the first Small Schools Climbing Festival in the area. We hired two Derbyshire mobile climbing walls and invited children from Peak Forest and Dove Holes School to join in the fun!

The Juniors regularly work hard to improve their core skills of balance, agility and flexibility through weekly trips to the indoor climbing wall at White Hall. Whilst improving fitness and developing new skills the children are combining their experiences with literacy by learning climbing terminology, setting personal goals and reviewing performance.
