Our daughter attended, and based on her reports about 50% of the new year 7 pupils attended.
It was 5 days spent as an induction, main purpose to get to know the environment, meet other classmates and make some friends before the start of term.
There were plenty of planned activities, and a daily timetable that included some academic taster classes, art, computing, team building, etc. They also arranged for some external visitors, including a large climbing wall and falcons.
It was worth it for ~£30 per day, to break up the holiday and in some way prepare for start at Townley. It's not compulsory however, and the 50% who didn't attend have also settled in to Townley.
