CHILDREN from a Bromsgrove school packed their sturdy boots and waterproofs when they headed off for a week in north Wales.

Two classes from the Mount School, in Birmingham Road, enjoyed a trip to Snowdonia.

The year six pupils hiked up Mount Snowdon, which is the highest mountain in Wales, tackled a climbing wall, visited a power station and enjoyed many other outings.

A school spokeswoman said: "After at least 12 years of running this trip we feel it's something that the children really look forward too and enjoy."
