The weekend involved orienteering, setting up their own tents, working as a team, planning meals and cooking them on camping stoves and hiking, all without the use of electronics. ![](https://www.churchmead.org/images/441170493_858567076287977_7108186062267011136_n.jpg) [ Newbury District Agricultural Society Design Make and Market Challenge](https://www.churchmead.org/news/2024-05-03-newbury-district-agricultural-society-design-make-and-market-challenge) [Year 12 Welcome Day ](https://www.churchmead.org/news/2024-06-26-year-12-welcome-day) ![Churchmead School](https://files.schudio.com/churchmead-school-2/images/logo/logo.png) ### Churchmead School Priory Way Datchet Berkshire SL3 9JQ 01753 211330 01753 580046 ### Useful Links - [Term Dates](https://www.churchmead.org/termdates) - [Contact Us](https://www.churchmead.org/contact) - [Office 365](https://login.microsoftonline.com/?whr=churchmead.org) ### Social Media - [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/ChurchmeadChurchOfEnglandvaSchool) - [Instagram](http://www.instagram.com/churchmead_insta/) ### Translation © Copyright 2026 Churchmead School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.churchmead.org/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
