Is YOUR School Tough Enough?

It’s time to spring into the new Summer Term and ask yourselves a big question: Is YOUR school tough enough??

Preparation is well under way for the forthcoming Royal Windsor Horse Show (12-16th May) and The Royal Tattoo (12-15th May) both of which are held in the private grounds of Windsor Castle and organisers are calling on local schools to take part in a brand new Army Challenge, hosted at this year’s Show for the first time.

The Army Command Tasks: Schools Challenge is a series of challenges devised by leading Army specialists, and is specifically designed to encourage team working, problem solving, fitness building and lateral thinking.

These physical challenges are suitable for teams of 10 students (max), aged from year 10+.
Pupils will need to work together, using their intuition and communication skills to resolve a plethora of hypothetical situations, similar to those set to new Army recruits when helping to select and develop Army leaders. They will also get the chance to take part on the Army’s special paint-balling range and assault course.

Each session of the Army Command Task: Schools Challenge will be completed within two hours and takes place during school hours between Weds 12th and Fri 14th May only. All sessions have to be booked and there are limited spaces available. Email schoolschallenge@hpower.co.uk for further information.

Don’t miss out on the chance to make YOUR school the pride of the neighbourhood!
