WELCOME to Milton Abbey’s RS Conference

Headmaster, Mr Watson It is a great pleasure to welcome students and colleagues to Milton Abbey for our RS Conference 2027. We are especially delighted to be hosting the Conference for the second time. The values that shaped our first Conference still hold true: we want every young person to be known as an individual, to develop confidence and curiosity, and to show understanding and compassion for others. Those values sit naturally alongside the Round Square IDEALS of Internationalism, Democracy, Environment, Adventure, Leadership and Service. Through shared experiences, challenge and friendship, I hope every delegate will leave Milton Abbey having discovered something new about themselves and others.

Make every day count! Course Director, Mr Olufunwa Our aim for the week is simple: to promote Adventure through teamwork. Students will be placed in mixed-school groups and challenged to communicate, collaborate, solve problems and support one another. Adventure is not only about the activity itself; it is about having the confidence to try something unfamiliar, contributing to a team and helping others succeed. Across outdoor challenges, creative experiences, sport, excursions and evening activities, we want delegates to build friendships, grow in confidence and enjoy achieving together.
